  1. Normalization • Also called “loss-less decomposition” • Process of optimizing table structures to eliminate redundancy and avoid anomalies and problems with extensibility. • Supports the golden rule: Each fact should be stored in the database only once. • Does not provide the solution to all design problems but provides a solid foundation.

  2. Normal Forms • 1st Normal Form • 2nd Normal Form • 3rd Normal Form • BCNF • 4th Normal Form • 5th Normal Form • Domain-Key Normal Form

  3. 1st Normal Form First Normal Form is violated if: • The relation has no identifiable primary key. • Any attempt has been made to store a multi-valued fact in a tuple.

  4. 1st NF - Example Evaluate the design solutions on the next four slides for: • Query-ability • Join-ability • Constrain-ability • Extensibility (of Language Domain) • Extensibility (of Schema)

  9. 2nd Normal Form Second Normal Form is violated if: • First Normal Form is violated • If there exists a non-key field(s) which is functionally dependent on a partial key. partial key non-key

  10. 2NF Example – Raw Data JE #1 02-JAN-2003 100 Cash 310 Smith-Capital (owner investment) 20,000 20,000 JE #2 03-JAN-2003 100 Cash 220 Notes Payable (borrowed money) 30,000 30,000 JE #3 03-JAN-2003 120 Supplies 100 Cash 220 Notes Payable (purchased supplies) 5,000 1,000 4,000

  11. 2NF Example – Violation Transactions Table JENO LINENO DATE DESCRIPTION ACCTNO ACCTNAME AMOUNT 1 1 02-JAN-2003 Owner investment 100 Cash 20,000 1 2 02-JAN-2003 Owner investment 310 Smith-Capital (20,000) 2 1 03-JAN-2003 Borrowed money 100 Cash 30,000 2 2 03-JAN-2003 Borrowed money 220 Notes Payable (30,000) 3 1 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 120 Supplies 5,000 3 2 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 100 Cash (1,000) 3 3 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 220 Notes Payable (4,000) Is there a non-key field which is functional dependent on a partial key?

  12. 2NF Example – ViolationFDs that indicate violation of 2NF JENO LINENO DATE DESCRIPTION ACCTNO ACCTNAME AMOUNT 1 1 02-JAN-2003 Owner investment 100 Cash 20,000 1 2 02-JAN-2003 Owner investment 310 Smith-Capital (20,000) 2 1 03-JAN-2003 Borrowed money 100 Cash 30,000 2 2 03-JAN-2003 Borrowed money 220 Notes Payable (30,000) 3 1 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 120 Supplies 5,000 3 2 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 100 Cash (1,000) 3 3 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies 220 Notes Payable (4,000)

  13. 2NF Example – Corrected Journal_Entry Table JENO DATE DESCRIPTION 1 02-JAN-2003 Owner investment 2 03-JAN-2003 Borrowed money 3 03-JAN-2003 Purchased Supplies Transactions Table JENO LINENO ACCTNO ACCTNAME AMOUNT 1 1 100 Cash 20,000 1 2 310 Smith-Capital (20,000) 2 1 100 Cash 30,000 2 2 220 Notes Payable (30,000) 3 1 120 Supplies 5,000 3 2 100 Cash (1,000) 3 3 220 Notes Payable (4,000)

  14. 3rd Normal Form Third Normal Form is violated if: • Second Normal Form is violated • If there exists a non-key field(s) which is functionally dependent on another non-key field(s). non-key non-key Note: A candidate key is not a non-key field.

  15. 3NF Example – Violation Journal_Entry Table Are there any non-key fields which functional determine another non-key field?

  16. 3NF Example – ViolationFD that indicates violation of 3NF Journal_Entry Table • Anomalies if not corrected: • update (if name of account 100 changes it must be changed in multiple places risking inconsistancy) • deletion (can't delete JE#3 and its transactions without losing information about account 120) • insertion (can't set up a new account, Jones-capital, for a new partner unless we first have a transaction involving that account.

  19. BCNF Normal Form Boyce-Codd Normal Form is violated if: • Third Normal Form is violated • If there exists a partial key which is functionally dependent on a non-key field(s). non-key partial-key

  20. BCNF ExampleSemantics • A student can have more than one major • A student has a different advisor for each major. • Each advisor advises for only one major.

  21. BCNF Example – Violation Student_Majors Table SID MAJOR ADVISOR 1 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 1 BIOLOGY LIVINGSTON 2 PHYSICS BOHR 2 COMPUTER SCIENCE CODD 3 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 4 BIOLOGY LIVINGSTON 4 ACCOUNTING PACIOLI 5 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 6 PHYSICS BOHR 6 BIOLOGY DARWIN 7 COMPUTER SCIENCE CODD 7 BIOLOGY DARWIN Does this relation violate third normal form? Are there any redundant facts?

  22. BCNF Example – ViolationFD that violates BCNF SID MAJOR ADVISOR It is important that you convince yourself that major does not FD advisor. 1 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 1 BIOLOGY LIVINGSTON 2 PHYSICS BOHR 2 COMPUTER SCIENCE CODD 3 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 4 BIOLOGY LIVINGSTON 4 ACCOUNTING PACIOLI 5 PHYSICS EINSTEIN 6 PHYSICS BOHR 6 BIOLOGY DARWIN 7 COMPUTER SCIENCE CODD 7 BIOLOGY DARWIN

  23. BCNF Example – Corrected Advisors Table ADVISOR MAJOR BOHR PHYSICS Student_Advisors Table CODD COMPUTER SCIENCE DARWIN BIOLOGY SID ADVISOR EINSTEIN PHYSICS 1 EINSTEIN LIVINGSTON BIOLOGY 1 LIVINGSTON PACIOLI ACCOUNTING 2 BOHR 2 CODD 3 EINSTEIN Note that the if the original key, counter-intuitively, in schema 1 had been defined as SID & ADVISOR this would have been a 2NF violation. 4 LIVINGSTON 4 PACIOLI 5 EINSTEIN 6 BOHR 6 DARWIN 7 CODD 7 DARWIN

  24. 4th Normal Form 4th Normal Form is violated if: • Boyce Codd Normal Form is violated • If there exists a partial key which has multiple independent multi-valued functional dependencies to other partial keys. partial-key1 partial-key2 partial-key3
