    Study Notes

    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.

    Description

    Test your knowledge on data normalization, which is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. Learn about the rules and conditions established in normalization, such as eliminating redundant data and ensuring data deficiencies. Explore the different normal forms like First Normal Form (1NF), Second Normal Form (2NF), and Third Normal Form (3NF) to understand how to organize a database and avoid anomalies found in flat files.
