Abstract: A system and method are provided for obtaining interrelated data for a database. The method can include the operation of calculating a data row set for a driving table in the database using at least one archive policy. A further operation is obtaining explicit and implicit application relationships between a second level table and the driving table. The driving table can be linked to the second level table to identify data rows eligible for archiving in the second level table. In addition, partition identifiers can be copied from the driving table rows to the second level table data rows in order to enable merging of application partitions as needed. Additional data rows can be found in the driving table based on the application relationship between the second level table and the driving table. The data rows collected from the tables can be archived.

Abstract: To discover functional dependencies in a large relation, a sample of tuples from the relation is collected. The sample is examined to determine whether one or more candidate functional dependencies exist just within the sample as a nominal dependency. When a nominal dependency is found in the sample, than all the tuples in the relation are examined to verify whether the nominal dependency holds for the whole relation. Candidate functional dependencies are disqualified when either a nominal dependency is found or when it is verified as functional dependency that holds for the entire relation.
