Table Structure with Violation of First Normal Form (1NF):

Consider a table named "EmployeeInfo" in a company's HR database:

EmployeeID EmployeeName Skills
1 John Doe Java, Python, SQL
2 Jane Smith C++, JavaScript
3 Bob Johnson Python, HTML, CSS

Decomposition Using Functional Dependencies - Example

Original Table:

StudentID StudentName CourseID CourseName Instructor Credits EnrollmentDate Grade
1 Alice 101 Math 101 Prof. Smith 4 2023-01-15 A
1 Alice 201 Physics 201 Prof. Johnson 3 2023-02-10 B
2 Bob 101 Math 101 Prof. Smith 4 2023-01-15 C
2 Bob 202 Chemistry 202 Prof. White 3 2023-02-05 A

Database Normalization and Its Importance

Definition: Database normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity.

Importance:

  1. Data Integrity: Normalization helps maintain the accuracy and consistency of data by reducing duplication. This minimizes the chances of contradictory or conflicting information.

  2. Efficient Storage: It optimizes storage space by eliminating redundant data, resulting in more efficient disk space usage.

Table Structure with Violation of Atomic Domains:

Original Table "OrderDetails":

OrderID Product Quantity
1 Laptop, Mouse 2
2 Smartphone, Earbuds 3
3 Tablet, Keyboard 1

Chapter 8: Relational Database Design

8.1 Features of Good Relational Designs

  • Purpose: The primary goal of relational database design is to create database structures that efficiently store and manage data. Effective designs exhibit the following key features:
    • Minimal Data Redundancy: Reducing repetition of data to conserve storage space and maintain data consistency.
    • Data Integrity: Ensuring the accuracy and consistency of data, preventing errors or inconsistencies.
    • Efficient Data Retrieval and Updates: Structuring data in a way that allows for speedy access and modification.

8.2 Atomic Domains and First Normal Form

  • Atomic Domains: In the context of relational databases, it is essential that each attribute holds only indivisible, atomic values. Attributes should not contain arrays, lists, or complex data structures.

Chapter 7: Database Design and the E-R Model

Concepts and Applications

7.1 Overview of the Design Process

  • Database Design Process: The systematic approach to constructing a well-structured database. It's like building a house; first, you need plans, then you create a blueprint (design), and finally, you construct the house (physical implementation).
  • Requirements Analysis: Identifying user needs, data constraints, and business rules.
  • Conceptual Design: Creating an abstract data model using the Entity-Relationship Model (ERD).
  • Logical Design: Translating the conceptual model into a logical schema, often using normalization.
  • Physical Design: Implementing the logical design on a specific Database Management System (DBMS).
