A relation may be in 2NF if
1. it is in 1NF &
2. Every non prime attribute functional dependent on primary attribute
A table is in 2NF when it is in 1NF and it includes no partial dependencies. However a table in 2NF may still have transitive dependencies, i.e., dependencies based on attributes that are not part of the primary key.
The domain of the inverse of a relation is the range of the relation. Similarly, the range of the inverse of a relation is the domain of the relation.

First normal form (1NF) sets the very basic rules for an organized database: * Eliminate duplicative columns from the same table. * Create separate tables for each group of related data and identify each row with a unique column or set of columns (the primary key). Second normal form (2NF) further addresses the concept of removing duplicative data: * Meet all the requirements of the first normal form. * Remove subsets of data that apply to multiple rows of a table and place them in separate tables. * Create relationships between these new tables and their predecessors through the use of foreign keys. Third normal form (3NF) goes one large step further: * Meet all the requirements of the second normal form. * Remove columns that are not dependent upon the primary key. Finally, fourth normal form (4NF) has one additional requirement: * Meet all the requirements of the third normal form. * A relation is in 4NF if it has no multi-valued dependencies. Remember, these normalization guidelines are cumulative. For a database to be in 2NF, it must first fulfill all the criteria of a 1NF database.
No, a function must be a relation although a relation need not be a functions.
Define normalization explain the conditions under which a relation need to be normalized to 2nf and 3nf with the help of an example ?
A table is in 2NF when it is in 1NF and it includes no partial dependencies. However a table in 2NF may still have transitive dependencies, i.e., dependencies based on attributes that are not part of the primary key.
A relation is in second normal form (2NF) if any of the following conditions apply: The primary key consists of only one attribute No non-primary key attribute exists in the relation Every non-primary key attribute is functionally dependent on the full set of primary key attributes
. Explain 3 NF using suitable examples.
Second normal form is valid in a table which have composite primary key which is made with the combination of two columns.So if we have A,B,C,D,E attributes in our table and C,D are fully functional dependent on A,B.But E is partially functional dependent on A,B,Mean if we use Only B to define E coloumn then that will be suffecent.so then we use 2nd normal form & we create two tables with coloumns attributes A,B,C,D and the other table with coloumns attribute B,E.That will be called second normal form.
the three forms of database are in normalization called 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF

First Normal Form Disadvantages:It cannot support multi valued attributes.It does not suffer from redundancy and having no limit to placed on a number of values
good relation, bad relation... also known as suck relation. fun relation, sex relation, happy relation, blood relation.
There are several normal forms are available in DBMS.those are1NF,2NF,3NF,BCNF,4NF,PJNF(project Join),DKNF(Domain Key).
