1. In database design and data modeling, attributes whose values are determined by or functionally dependent on other attributes (determinants) in the same entity or relation
In a student database, the 'tuition_amount' is a dependent attribute because its value depends on the 'enrollment_status' attribute
Em um banco de dados de estudantes, o 'valor_mensalidade' é um atributo dependente porque seu valor depende do atributo 'status_matricula'
2. Attributes that cannot exist or have no meaning without the existence of another attribute or entity
Employee salary history has dependent attributes that rely on the employee ID as the primary determinant
O histórico salarial do funcionário possui atributos dependentes que dependem do ID do funcionário como determinante principal
