A candidate key is a determinant that determines all the other columns is a relation.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

A candidate key is a minimal set of attributes that uniquely identifies a row, and identifying the row fixes the value of every attribute in it - so the key functionally determines every other column. This is why candidate keys are determinants; the point of Boyce-Codd Normal Form is to insist that every determinant be one of them.
