Assignment 2

The document discusses normalizing a database table for a dental clinic. It begins with the original table and lists functional dependencies. It then shows the table converted to first normal form by removing repeating groups and assigning primary keys. Next, it is converted to second normal form by removing partial dependencies. Finally, it is converted to third normal form by removing non-key attribute dependencies and splitting into multiple tables. The result is tables for appointments, staff, patients, and surgery in BCNF.
