  Abstract

The article deals with Codd's relational model of data and its fuzzy logic extensions. Our main purpose is to examine, from the point of view of fuzzy logic in the narrow sense, some of the extensions proposed in the literature and the relationships between them. We argue that fuzzy logic in the narrow sense is important for the fuzzy logic extensions because it provides conceptual and methodological foundations, clarity and simplicity. We present several comparative observations as well as new technical results.

Keywords: Relational database; relational database model; functional dependency; fuzzy logic
