. Explain 3 NF using suitable examples.
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 three forms of database are in normalization called 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF
BCNF, 3NF, 2NF, 1NF Non First Normal Form Both
Define normalization explain the conditions under which a relation need to be normalized to 2nf and 3nf with the help of an example ?
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
A table violates Second Normal Form (2NF) if it is not in First Normal Form (1NF) and has partial dependencies. This means that a non-prime attribute (an attribute that is not part of any candidate key) depends only on a subset of a composite primary key, rather than on the whole key. To achieve 2NF, each non-prime attribute must be fully functionally dependent on the entire primary key.
Object-oriented databases can handle both types of normal forms mentioned, including traditional normal forms like BCNF, 3NF, 2NF, and 1NF, as well as non-first normal form (NF²) data structures. Therefore, the correct answer is c. both a. and b. This flexibility allows object-oriented databases to efficiently manage complex data relationships and structures.
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.
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 inventor of the relational model, introduced the concept of normalization and what we now know as the First Normal Form (1NF) in 1970.[1] Codd went on to define the Second Normal Form (2NF) and Third Normal Form (3NF) in 1971,[2] and Codd and Raymond F. Boyce defined the Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) in 1974.[3] Informally, a relational database table is often described as "normalized" if it is in the Third Normal Form.[4] Most 3NF tables are free of insertion, update, and deletion anomalies.
In database design, there are several normal forms, typically including the first three: First Normal Form (1NF), Second Normal Form (2NF), and Third Normal Form (3NF). Beyond these, there are also Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF), Fourth Normal Form (4NF), and Fifth Normal Form (5NF). Each normal form addresses specific types of redundancy and dependency issues to ensure data integrity and efficiency in relational databases. Higher normal forms exist, but the first five are the most commonly referenced.
