I wrote a C program once for a college credit which let you input all the
field information as well as define the relations between information such
as customer number relates to name, address, orders, etc. and it would
recursively find all normal forms for table/field structures. It was based
on tuple calculus formulas and generally cranked away at larger structures
for hours (that was the age of XT's and 286's :)

Are there any programs that anyone has used or seen which will do something
like this? I've never seen one myself, but I admit that I have never looked
for one specifically. I've just never seen one while perusing for other
tools and utilities.
