89. Explain normalization and its different forms.

ANSWER: Normalization is a process for evaluating and correcting table structures to minimize data
redundancies, thereby reducing the likelihood of data anomalies. The normalization process involves
assigning attributes to tables based on the concept of determination. Normalization works through a
series of stages called normal forms. The first three stages are described as first normal form (1NF),
second normal form (2NF), and third normal form (3NF). From a structural point of view, 2NF is
better than 1NF, and 3NF is better than 2NF. For most purposes in business database design, 3NF is
as high as you need to go in the normalization process. However, you will discover that properly
designed 3NF structures also meet the requirements of fourth normal form (4NF).

90. What characteristics do tables that conform to the concept of well-informed relations have?
ANSWER: Tables that conform to the concept of well-informed relations have the following characteristics:

1. Each table represents a single subject.

2. No data item will be unnecessarily stored in more than one table. This results in tables that
have lower redundancies. The reason for this requirement is to ensure that the data is updates
in only one place.
3. All nonprime attributes in a table are dependent on the primary key alone. The reason for this
requirement is to ensure that the data is uniquely identifiable by a primary key value.
4. Each table is void of insertion, update, or deletion anomalies, which ensure the integrity and
consistency of the data.

91. Describe a dependency diagram and explain its purpose.

ANSWER: Dependency diagrams are very helpful in getting a bird’s eye view of all the relationships among a
table’s attributes, and their use makes it less likely that you will overlook an important dependency.
The following are features of a dependency diagram:

1. The primary key attributes are bold, underlined, and shaded in a different color.
2. The arrows above the attributes indicate all desirable dependencies—that is, dependencies
based on the primary key.
3. The arrows below the dependency diagram indicate less desirable dependencies. Two types of
such dependencies exist:
a. Partial dependencies. A dependency based on only a part of a composite primary key is a
partial dependency.
b. Transitive dependencies. A transitive dependency is a dependency of one nonprime
attribute on another nonprime attribute. The problem with transitive dependencies is that they
still yield data anomalies.

92. What steps are involved in the conversion to third normal form?
ANSWER: Step 1: Make New Tables to Eliminate Transitive Dependencies
For every transitive dependency, write a copy of its determinant as a primary key for a new table. A
determinant is any attribute whose value determines other values within a row. If you have three
different transitive dependencies, you will have three different determinants. As with the conversion
to 2NF, it is important for the determinant remain in the original table to serve as a foreign key.
Step 2: Reassign Corresponding Dependent Attributes
Identify the attributes that are dependent on each determinant identified in Step 1. Place the dependent
attributes in the new tables with their determinants and remove them from their original tables.

93. Explain the Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF). How is it related to other normal forms?
ANSWER: A table is in Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF) when every determinant in the table is a candidate
key. A candidate key has the same characteristics as a primary key, but for some reason, it was not
chosen to be the primary key. Clearly, when a table contains only one candidate key, the 3NF and the
BCNF are equivalent. In other words, BCNF can be violated only when the table contains more than
one candidate key. Most designers consider the BCNF to be a special case of the 3NF. In fact, if the
techniques shown in this chapter are used, most tables conform to the BCNF requirements once the
3NF is reached.
