DATABASE DESIGN: NORMALIZATION NOTE & EXERCISES (Up to 3NF) Tables that contain redundant data can suffer from update anomalies‚ which can introduce inconsistencies into a database. The rules associated with the most commonly used normal forms‚ namely first (1NF)‚ second (2NF)‚ and third (3NF). The identification of various types of update anomalies such as insertion‚ deletion‚ and modification anomalies can be found when tables that break the rules of 1NF‚ 2NF‚ and 3NF and they are likely to contain

The normalization process is used by database developers to design databases in which it is easy to organize and manage data while ensuring the accuracy of data throughout the database. The advantages and disadvantages of both normalization and denormalization of a database are discussed‚ as well as data integrity versus performance issues that pertain to normalization. The highlights of this hour include * What normalization is * Benefits of normalization * Advantages of denormalization

Chapter 3: Table Normalization and Windows Azure SQL Database Review Questions 1. What are the conditions for a table to be a relation? Each cell in a table must contain a single value‚ there should be no duplicated rows‚ and all the cells in a column must contain the same type of data 2. How do you link a table to another table? Link tables based on a relationship connecting the entities with common column in each table 3. What is functional dependency? Give an example of functional dependency

NORMALIZATION TUTORIAL (EXTRA) 1. Given the dependency diagram‚ answer items a-c: [pic] a. Identify and discuss each of the indicated dependencies. C1 ( C2 represents a partial dependency‚ because C2 depends only on C1‚ rather than on the entire primary key composed of C1 and C3. C4 ( C5 represents a transitive dependency‚ because C5 depends on an attribute (C4) that is not part of a primary key. C1‚ C3 ( C2‚ C4‚ C5 represents a set of proper functional

Base Concepts II Data Dictionary and Normalization Guidelines The purpose of a data dictionary is to define the objects and data within an organization ’s database management system. This metadata does not contain any of the database ’s data‚ but only information about the structure‚ storage and use of the database ’s data. A data dictionary can be stored in files or documents‚ or can be stored within a database in the DBMS. For example‚ a database may contain an employee table that has an

advantages and disadvantages of normalization. The process of normalization brings about organization to the database that it is applied to. Normalization makes everyone’s job easier due to the fact that it gets rid of as much useless data as possible. Repeated data is processed and simplified into single data. Repeated data‚ for example such as having someone named JOHN DOE in one table and the same person’s name JOHNNY M. DOE in another table. Modifying a table with as little data as possible

Key concepts Let me start by naming a few of the most important concepts in relational database design. A basic understanding of these will be required to understand the rest of the article. * Primary Key (PK) A column with a unique value for each row. Although not all database management systems (DBMS) require you to put a PK into each table‚ from a design perspective a PK is a requirement. No table should be without one. * Foreign Key (FK) These define relationships between tables. When

NORMALIZATION (Breaking down of a big single table into smaller ones) 1st STEP: UNF (Un-normalized Form) – A table with repeating groups of data OrderInvoice(OrderNo‚ OrderDate‚ CustNo‚ CustName‚ CustTel‚ CustContactPerson‚ {ItemCode‚ ItemDesc‚ UnitPrice‚ Quantity}) 2nd STEP: 1NF (First Normal Form) – Remove Repeating Groups How? By creating another table for the repeated data (the ones in curly bracket) 1. OrderInvoice(OrderNo‚ OrderDate‚ CustNo‚ CustName‚ CustTel‚ CustContactPerson) – orderInvoice
