What is ER diagram? Why we use ER diagram.

2 points

An Entity Relationship Diagram shows how entities relate to each other in a particular system. Generally,
an ERD does not define business processes, but graphically displays business data patterns.

ER diagrams are used to analyze existing databases to find and resolve problems in logic or deployment.
Drawing the diagram should reveal where it's going wrong. Business information systems: The diagrams
are used to design or analyze relational databases used in business processes.

Define Normalization. Write down the conditions of 2nd normal form

2 points
Normalization is a database design technique that reduces data redundancy and eliminates undesirable
characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anomalies.

Second Normal Form (2NF) is based on the concept of full functional dependency. Second Normal Form
applies to relations with composite keys, that is, relations with a primary key composed of two or more
attributes. To be in second normal form, a relation must be in first normal form and relation must not
contain any partial dependency.
