Description

Peter studies the theory of relational databases. Table in the relational database consists of values that are arranged in rows and columns.

A table is in Peter's Normal Form (PNF) if and only if there is no pair of rows and a pair of columns such that the values in the corresponding columns are the same for both rows.
