What is Partial Dependency?
Partial dependency in a relational database occurs when a non-prime attribute (i.e., not part of any candidate key) is functionally dependent on only a part of the primary key, rather than the entire primary key.
Partial Dependency in DBMS
Database Management Systems (DBMS) design and optimize their databases for working, expecting partial dependency. It is something like a functional or strong dependency that makes it possible to show a constrained relationship between two or more attributes in a table. In this essay, we will discuss partial reliances, how to overcome them, and how to eliminate them while creating database models.
