Objective & Learning Outcome
After completing the assignment, the student will be able to apply De-Normalization
techniques on database relations.

Question No. 1 (10 Marks)

Fig. 1 given below reflects the relationship of some specific scenario related to the Department-
Course.

Fig. 1: Department-Course relationship

What would be the De-Normalized form of the scenario given above?

Question No. 2 (10 Marks)

Consider the following information about Department and Course tables (given in Q no 1).
Table1 (Master):
Header Size of the Department table: = 70 Bytes
Number of records stored in Department table: = 80000

Table2 (Detail):
Header size Course table: = 80 Bytes
Number of records stored in Course table: = 6000000

Suppose you have applied the pre-joining De-Normalization technique on ‘Department’ and
‘Course’ tables. Calculate the size of resultant table in Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB) and
Terabytes (TB). The reference column in these two tables is of 8 bytes.

Hint: There would be 6000000 records in De-normalized table.

Note: Plagiarism will be checked for each question. Please answer the questions in your
own words and marks will be awarded based on your answer and plagiarism report.

Question 1:

This is de-Normalized table of above tables:

deptCo deptNa deptLo deptPho ChairNa course Titl Descript creditHo


de me cn ne me No e on ur

Question 2:

The Header of Resultant de-Normalization = 70 + 80 - 8 = 142 bytes

The Number of Records in De-Normalized table= 6000000

Size of the De-Normalized table = 142*6000000 = 852,000,000

to Convert byte into MB, we need to divide by (1000)2

= 852/(1000)2

= 852MB

to Convert byte into GB, we need to divide by (1000) 3

= 852/(1000)3

=0.852 GB

to Convert byte into TB, we need to divide by (1000) 4

= 852/(1000)4

=0.000852 GB
