    A Bandb C.: Normalization Is A Database Design Technique That

    The document introduces different forms of database normalization: - Normalization organizes tables to reduce redundancy and dependency by dividing larger tables into smaller linked tables. This eliminates redundant data and stores data logically. - There are four normal forms discussed: first, second, third, and Boyce-Codd normal forms. Higher normal forms simplify update semantics and application maintenance. - Functional dependency means an attribute B relies on attribute A such that records with the same A value have the same B value. Partial and transitive dependencies are also introduced.

    INTRODUCTION TO NORMALIZATION

    NORMALIZATION  is a database design technique that


    organizes tables in a manner that reduces redundancy and
    dependency of data. Normalization divides larger tables into Figure 2
    smaller tables and links them using relationships. The purpose
    of Normalization is to eliminate redundant (useless) data and PARTIAL FUNCTIONAL DEPENDENCY:
    ensure data is stored logically.
    Exists when an attribute B is functionally dependent on an
    Four Normal Forms to be discussed; FIRST, SECOND, THIRD attribute A, and A is a component of a multipart candidate
    and BOYCE-CODD NORMAL FORMS key.

    The benefit of higher normal forms is that update semantics


    for the affected data are simplified.

    This means that applications required to maintain the


    database are simpler.

    FUNCTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Figure 3

    We say an attribute, B, has a functional dependency FIRST NORMAL FORM:


    on another attribute, A, if for any two records, which have the
    same value for A, then the values for B in these two records
    A relation is in 1NF which the intersection of each row and
    must be the same. We illustrate this as:
    column contains one and only one value.

    Wherein ‘A’ is the determinant and ‘B’ is the dependent.

    TRANSITIVE FUNCTIONAL DEPENDENCY:

    A transitive dependency is when a non-key attribute depends

    on another non-key attribute. This is called transitive, because
    the primary key is a determinant for another attribute, which
    SECOND NORMAL FORM:
    in turn is a determinant for a third attribute.
    A relation is in 2NF if it is in 1NF, and every non-key attribute
    Consider attributes A, B, and C, and where:
    is fully dependent on each candidate key. A relation in 2NF
    A  B and B  C. will not have any partial dependencies.
    Functional dependencies are transitive, which means that we
    also have the functional dependency:
    AC
    We say that C is transitively dependent on A through B.
    Figure 6
    THIRD NORMAL FORM:
    A relation is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and has no transitive
    dependencies.
