NORMALIZATIOn-2014

Normalization is a process that evaluates and corrects table structures to minimize data redundancies and reduce data anomalies, typically reaching up to the third normal form (3NF) in business database design. Denormalization, on the other hand, involves converting a higher normal form to a lower one (e.g., from 3NF to 2NF) to enhance performance, albeit at the cost of increased data redundancy. While normalization is crucial for database design, it is important to balance it with performance needs by selectively denormalizing parts of the database.

NORMALIZATIO

NORMALIZATION
 Is a process for evaluating and correcting table
structures to minimize data redundancies,
thereby reducing the likelihood of data anomalies
 Normalization works through a series of stages
called normal forms. (1NF, 2NF, 3NF)
 For most business database design process 3NF
is as high as you need to go in the normalization
process. (although normalization is a very
important database design ingredient, you
should not assume that the highest level of
normalization is the most desirable therefore you
need to denormalize some portions of a
database design in order to meet the
performance requirements)
DENORMALIZATION
 Produces a lower normal form, that is a
3NF will be converted to a 2NF through
denormalization. (increased performance
through denormalization is greater data
redundancy)
