Abstract normalization syntax?

[davej]

I've seen a normalization problem posted recently that was expressed like this... Relation: R(ABCDEFG)Functional dependencies: F = {ABC -> DEFG, AB -> DFG, B -> EF}Assumed primary key: A I have a difficult time making sense of it. First of all the claim that A is the "primary key" seems completely bogus. Then I also don't know what to do with C. I would think you would make two tables, but I don't know where C should go...
