Homework Statement

find candidate keys

Relevant Equations

Normalization in database

Consider a relation given below SP(Sno,Sname,Pno,Qty). Here Sname is considered unique for each Sno. So, FD of above relation is:

Sno,Pno -> Qty
Sname,Pno -> Qty
Sno ->Sname
Sname->Sno

Sname,Sno is one primary key(it's worded in question). What's the other? How to find it is my question. I've heard about taking closures but here there are 2 attributes in the LHS so I can't see a way to do closures.

 

[FactChecker]

It's hard to say much without more information, but I have some questions. You say that "Sname is considered unique for each Sno", but that does not necessarily mean that Sno is unique for each Sname. Is that true?
Does 'S' mean supplier? Does 'Sno' mean the Supplier part number for a part, or is it a number that you have given uniquely to each supplier?
Why do you need both Sname and Sno for a primary key?
Are you sure about Sname ->Sno? Are you saying that there can't be things from two different suppliers with the same name but different part numbers?

IMO, there is a lot left to guess at.
