    The document discusses database normalization. It covers the fundamentals of normalization including normal forms, dependencies, and keys. It also discusses denormalization, including the benefits and techniques for denormalizing databases. The document is divided into 3 lessons - fundamentals of normalization, normal forms, and denormalization. It concludes with exercises to practice normalizing data to first, second, and third normal form and denormalizing data.

    Module 3

    Normalization
    Module 3 Overview

    • Fundamentals of Normalization
    • Normal Forms
    • Denormalization
    Lesson 1: Fundamentals of Normalization

    • Benefits of Normalization
    • Keys
    • Dependencies
    Benefits of Normalization

    • More consistent data with fewer anomalies


    • Reduced impact when making changes to the
    database schema
    • An intuitive design that is easy to understand
    • Improved performance for Online Transactional
    Processing (OLTP) workloads
    • INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations
    • Databases require less storage space
    Keys

    • A Primary Key uniquely identifies every row in a


    table
    • Candidate keys are the potential primary keys for
    a table
    • Surrogate keys are candidate keys that you can
    create when there are no other suitable
    candidate keys- commonly IDENTITY columns
    Dependencies
    Lesson 2: Normal Form

    • First Normal Form


    • Second Normal Form
    • Third Normal Form
    • Boyce-Codd Normal Form
    • Fourth Normal Form
    • Fifth Normal Form
    First Normal Form
    Second Normal Form
    Third Normal Form
    Boyce-Codd Normal Form
    Fourth Normal Form
    Fifth Normal Form
    Lesson 3: Denormalization

    • Introduction to Denormalization
    • Benefits of Denormalization
    • Techniques for Denormalizing Databases
    • Considerations for Denormalization
    Introduction to Denormalization

    • Types of relational database schemas include:


    • Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
    • Typically highly normalized
    • Online Analysis Processing (OLAP)
    • Star and snowflake, typically denormalized
    • Normalize first, then selectively denormalize
    Benefits of Denormalization

    • Improved READ query performance


    • Support for reporting applications
    • Improved concurrency
    • Ease of use
    Techniques for Denormalizing Databases

    • Adding redundant columns


    • Using report tables
    • Using duplicate tables
    • Using split tables
    • Reintroducing repeating data groups
    • Using calculated and derived columns
    Considerations for Denormalization

    • Denormalized databases will be larger


    • Denormalizing can increase the number of NULL
    values in a database
    • Updates must be handled correctly
    • The likelihood of data anomalies is much greater
    in a denormalized database
    • Powerful hardware can negate the benefits of
    denormalization
    • In-memory technologies improve performance
    for normalized databases
    • Testing is an essential part of the
    denormalization process
    Lab 3: Normalizing Data

    • Exercise 1: Normalizing to First Normal Form


    • Exercise 2: Normalizing to Second Normal Form
    • Exercise 3: Normalizing to Third Normal Form
    • Exercise 4: Denormalizing Data
