We address the problem of efficiently evaluating target functional dependencies (fds) in the Data Exchange (DE) process. Target fds naturally occur in many DE scenarios, including the ones in Life Sciences in which multiple source relations need to be structured under a constrained target schema. However, despite their wide use, target fds' evaluation is still a bottleneck in the state-of-the-art DE engines. Systems relying on an all-SQL approach typically do not support target fds unless additional information is provided. Alternatively, DE engines that do include these dependencies typically pay the price of a significant drop in performance and scalability. In this paper, we present a novel chase-based algorithm that can efficiently handle arbitrary fds on the target. Our approach essentially relies on exploiting the interactions between source-to-target (s-t) tuple-generating dependencies (tgds) and target fds. This allows us to tame the size of the intermediate chase results, by playing on a careful ordering of chase steps interleaving fds and (chosen) tgds. As a direct consequence, we importantly diminish the fd application scope, often a central cause of the dramatic overhead induced by target fds. Moreover, reasoning on dependency interaction further leads us to interesting parallelization opportunities, yielding additional scalability gains. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation of our chase-based algorithm and an experimental study aiming at gauging its scalability with respect to a number of parameters, among which the size of source instances and the number of dependencies of each tested scenario. Finally, we empirically compare with the latest DE engines, and show that our algorithm outperforms them.
