Category - Data Anomalies - Database Management

The document discusses three types of data anomalies that can occur in a database without normalization: update anomalies, deletion anomalies, and insertion anomalies. An update anomaly results from data redundancy and a partial update. A deletion anomaly is the unintended loss of data due to deletion of other data. An insertion anomaly is the inability to add data to the database due to the absence of other data. Normalization is the process of structuring relations to avoid these anomalies.

Normalization is the process of splitting relations into well


structured relations that allow users to insert, delete, and update
tuples without introducing database. Without normalization many
problems can occur when trying to load an integrated
conceptual model into the DBSM. These problems arise from
relations that are generated directly from user views are called
anomalies. There are three types of anomalies: update, deletion
and insertion anomalies.

An update anomaly is a data inconsistency that results from


data redundancy and a partial update. For example, each
employee in a company has a department associated with them
as well as the student group they participate in.

Longfellow

234 B. Rech Marketing Marketing Club

Club

456 A. Bruchs CIS Technology Org.

456 A. Bruchs CIS Beta Alpha Psi

If A. Bruchs’ department is an error it must be updated at least 2


times or there will be inconsistent data in the database. If the
user performing the update does not realize the data is stored
redundantly the update will not be done properly.
A deletion anomaly is the unintended loss of data due to Recent Wiki Activity
