    Tutorial Normalization - Part 2 (Q)

    Uploaded by

    Karen Koh Jia Jun
    The document provides two examples of normalization from 1NF to 3NF. The first example normalizes a book database from 1NF to 3NF, resulting in three tables: Book, Author, and Publication. The second example asks students to normalize a student course database from 1NF to 3NF. The student is asked to identify the primary key, explain why the table is not in 2NF, normalize it to 2NF and 3NF, and describe data anomalies if the table is not normalized.

    a) What is the primary key for the table shown above?

    StudentID, CourseID

    b) Explain why this table is not in 2NF? Illustrate your explanations by using appropriate examples from
    the table.

    1. The table is not in 1NF


    -The primary key hasn’t identified.
    2. There are partial dependencies that haven’t been eliminated.
    -For example, StudentID has partial dependencies on the StudentName and Major.
    c) Normalize the table into 2NF. Show your answer in schema format ie. TABLENAME(key, attibute….)

    Student(StudentID, StudentName, Major, GradHours)


    Course(CourseID, CourseName, CreditHour)
    Evaluation(StudentID,CourseID, Grade)

    d) What is the condition for a table to be in 3NF? Normalize the table into 3NF. Explain your normalization
    process using appropriate examples from the table. Show your answer in schema format ie.
    TABLENAME(key, attibute….)
    Conditions for a table to be in 3NF:
    1. Already in 2NF
    2. There is no transitive dependency

    To achieve 3NF, we have to eliminate the transitive dependency. In the tables, there is a partial dependency
    exist between Major and GradHours. Therefore, we have to form one more table by using the Major as the key
    of table as follow:

    Major(Major, GradHours)

    e) If the original table shown above is not normalized, what anomalies exists for the table? Name and
    explain each of the anomaly and provide suitable examples using the data given in the table.

    Insertion anomalies. If only this file exists, to add a new course, one dummy student data have to be inserted to
    reflect the course’s condition.
    Update anomalies. If the student Azura Ali has a new StudentID, the new StudentID has to be entered in each
    of the file record in which the Azura Ali’s StudentID is shown.
    Deletion anomalies. If the student Azura Ali and the student Ahmad Ismail are deleted, the InfoSystems will be
    deleted as well.
