Data Normalization Process Quiz

Functional Dependency

• Full functional dependency in a table requires that if A → B, then A functionally determines B, and A contains a minimal set of attributes necessary to functionally determine B.

Database Management

• Referential integrity is the concept that ensures the consistency of relationships between tables.

Data Normalization

• To achieve the Third Normal Form (3NF), transitive dependencies need to be eliminated.

Transitive Dependence

• A characteristic of transitive dependence is that if A → B and B → C, then A → C.

Database Design

• Data modeling is the process that involves making diagrams for software or database layout.

Data Normalization (Purpose)

• The primary purpose of data normalization in a database is to minimize data redundancy and dependency.

Normalization Process

• Not having a unique primary key is NOT a reason for the normalization process.

Flat Files

• Insertion, deletion, and update anomalies are the types of anomalies that can be encountered while using flat files.

First Normal Form (1NF)

• The rule that defines a table to be in the First Normal Form (1NF) is that all the tables must have distinct rows, and each column must have a single value.

Second Normal Form (2NF)

• A key requirement for the Second Normal Form (2NF) is that a table must be in the First Normal Form (1NF), and all non-prime attributes must depend on the entire primary key.

Modification Anomaly

• Changing the price of a specific product is NOT an example of a modification anomaly.
