Properties of Relation Table

1. Properties of relation tables include atomic column values of the same kind, unique rows, and unique column names. 2. Normalization is a two-step design technique used for relational databases to remove repeating groups and duplicate values by putting data into normalized tables. 3. The goal of normalization is to reduce data redundancy and have only primary keys on the left side of functional dependencies, putting tables into third normal form.

Properties of Relation Table

1. Column values are atomic


2. Column values are of the same kind
3. Each row should unique
4. Each column has a unique name

Normalization

1. It is a design technique which is widely used as a guide in designing relational


databases (OLTP databases)
2. It is a two step process that puts data into a table form by removing repeating
groups and removing duplicated values prompt the relational tables
3. Normalization theory is based on the concept of normal forms
4. Normal forms are cubilative
5. That all tables in a relational db should be in third normal form.
6. The goal of normalization is to have only the primary keys on left hand side of the
functional dependency.

Normalization is a process of removing redundant data from relational tables by splitting


the relational tables in to smaller tables.

Splitting is must be lossless, which means that the tables can be recombined be natural
join to recreate the original table with out creating any redundant data.

1nf
All relational tables by definition are in the first normal form. When a relational table is in
first normal form it contains redundant data.
Redundancy causes update anomalies.
Anomalies are problems that arrive when we insert, update or delete data from a
relational table.
