Chapter 5 Database Design: Normalization Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Objectives • Discuss functional dependence • Define first normal form, second normal form, and third normal form • Describe the problems associated with tables (relations) that are not in first normal form, second normal form, or third normal form along with the mechanism for converting to all three Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Objectives • Discuss the problems associated with incorrect conversions to third normal form • Define fourth normal form • Describe the problems associated with tables (relations) that are not in fourth normal form and describe the mechanism for converting to fourth normal form Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Functional Dependence • Column B is functionally dependent on Column A if A’s value determines a single value for B at a given time • Given A, a single value for B can be determined Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Functional Dependence Example Rep Table Where LastName can determine record Rep Table Where LastName cannot determine record Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Keys • Column(s) C is primary key for table T if: Property 1: All columns in T are functionally dependent on C Property 2: No subcollection of columns in C (assuming C is a collection of columns and not just a single column) also has Property 1 • Candidate Keys • Column(s) on which all other columns in table are functionally dependent • Alternate Keys • Candidate keys not chosen as primary keys Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
First Normal Form (1NF) • Unnormalized table • Contains a repeating group • Table in 1NF • Contains no repeating groups • Removal of repeating groups is starting point in quest for problem-free tables Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
1NF Example Unnormalized Table Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
1NF Example (con’t.) Conversion to 1NF Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
Second Normal Form (2NF) • 1NF Tables may contain problems • Redundancy • Update Anomalies • Update, inconsistent data, additions, deletions • Occur because a column is dependent on a portion of a multi-column primary key • 2NF Table • In 1NF and no nonkey column is dependent on only a portion of the primary key Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski

Third Normal Form (3NF) • 2NF Tables may still contain problems • Redundancy and wasted space • Update Anomalies • Update, inconsistent data, additions, deletions • Occur because a column is dependent on a portion of a multi-column primary key • 3NF Table • In 2NF and the only determinants contained are candidate keys Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski

Fourth Normal Form (4NF) • 3NF Tables may still contain problems • Dependencies • Update Anomalies • Update, additions, deletions • Occur because of multivalued dependencies • 4NF Table • In 3NF and has no multivalued dependencies Concepts of Database Management, 4th Edition, Pratt & Adamski
