Database Design and Normalization Part 18

The document discusses database design and normalization, emphasizing the importance of structuring data efficiently to minimize redundancy and maintain integrity. It outlines the normalization process through various forms, including First Normal Form (1NF), Second Normal Form (2NF), and Third Normal Form (3NF), along with their requirements and examples. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of normalization and introduces higher normal forms such as BCNF, 4NF, and 5NF.

Database Design and

Normalization
Understanding Structured Data
Organization
Introduction to Database Design
• - Database design defines the structure and
organization of data.
• - It ensures data is stored efficiently, minimizes
redundancy, and maintains integrity.
What is Normalization?
• - A process of organizing data in a database.
• - Reduces redundancy and improves data
integrity.
• - Enhances database efficiency.
First Normal Form (1NF)
• - Data must be atomic (indivisible values).
• - Each column must contain unique values.
• - Example:
• - Before: A single column contains 'Math,
Science'.
• - After: Split into two separate rows.
Second Normal Form (2NF)
• - Must first meet 1NF.
• - Non-key attributes must depend on the
whole primary key.
• - Example:
• - A student-course table should separate
instructor details into another table.
Third Normal Form (3NF)
• - Must first meet 2NF.
• - No transitive dependencies (a non-key
attribute should not depend on another non-
key attribute).
• - Example:
• - Moving 'Department Location' from a
Student table to a separate Department table.
Benefits of Normalization
• - Reduces Data Redundancy.
• - Improves Data Integrity.
• - Enhances Query Performance.
• - Simplifies Database Maintenance.
Higher Normal Forms
• - **BCNF**: Ensures every determinant is a
candidate key.
• - **4NF**: Eliminates multi-valued
dependencies.
• - **5NF**: Ensures no unnecessary joins are
required.
