Boyce-Codd normal form - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boyce-Codd normal form (or BCNF ) is a normal form used in database normalization. It is a slightly stronger version of the third normal form (3NF). A table is in Boyce-Codd normal form if and only...

Since relations in 3NF but not in BCNF are slightly unusual, it is a bit more difficult to come up with meaningful examples. To be precise, the definition of 3NF does not deal with a relation that:
