Third Normal Form - Acceptable in Database Normalization - Process of Removing Redundant Data From Tables To Improve Storage Efficiency, Data

Third normal form is an acceptable form for databases and involves normalization to remove redundant data. Normalization splits tables into multiple tables to improve storage efficiency and data integrity. It results in scalar values in each field with no repeating elements and no partial or transitive dependencies between tables. While redundancy decreases with normalization, the number of tables and complexity increases. Functional, transitive, and partial dependencies define the relationships between attributes and primary keys in normalized tables.

Properly normalized database

- Scalar values in each field


- No repeating elements
- No partial dependencies
- No transitive dependencies

Redundancy: decrease:

Number of tables: Increase; Complexity: Increase

Functional Dependency: A->B = B is functional dependent on A


ex. Employee number -> email address
Note: Left hand side is the primary key (most of the time)

Transitive Dependency:

A > B and B > C

C is transitively dependent on A thru B: A>C

Partial Dependency:
A > B, A is a multipart/composite key – composed of two or more attributes
Attribute depends on two keys, but one key is dependent on only one pkey
