4. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Normalization Normalization theory is based on the observation that relations with certain properties are more effective in inserting, updating and deleting data than other sets of relations containing the same data Normalization is a multi-step process beginning with an “unnormalized” relation –Hospital example from Atre, S. Data Base: Structured Techniques for Design, Performance, and Management.

5. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Normal Forms First Normal Form (1NF) Second Normal Form (2NF) Third Normal Form (3NF) Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) Fourth Normal Form (4NF) Fifth Normal Form (5NF)

6. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Normalization Boyce- Codd and Higher Functional dependencyof nonkey attributes on the primary key - Atomic values only Full Functional dependencyof nonkey attributes on the primary key No transitive dependency between nonkey attributes All determinants are candidate keys - Single multivalued dependency

7. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Normalization Normalization is performed to reduce or eliminate Insertion, Deletion or Update anomalies. However, a completely normalized database may not be the most efficient or effective implementation. “Denormalization” is sometimes used to improve efficiency.

8. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Denormalization Usually driven by the need to improve query speed Query speed is improved at the expense of more complex or problematic DML (Data manipulation language) for updates, deletions and insertions.

12. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management ER Diagram Symbols Entity Attribute Primary key Relationship Ovals are used to indicate the attributes associated with an entity or relationship (That is, the pieces of information recorded in the database about the entity or relationship) An underlined name indicates that the attribute is a primary key (That is, it can uniquely identify the entity) Rectangles are used to indicate entities (That is, the representatives or records describing persons, things, or events in the database) Diamonds are used to indicate relationships between entities. (That is, some association between the data records of different entities)

13. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Cookie Requirements Cookie is a bibliographic database that contains information about a hypothetical union catalog of several libraries. Need to record which books are held by which libraries Need to search on bibliographic information –Author, title, subject, call number for a given library, etc. Need to know who publishes the books for ordering, etc.

14. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management Cookie Database There are currently 6 main types of entities in the database –Authors (Authors) –Books (bibfile) –Local Call numbers (callfile) –Libraries (libfile) –Publishers (pubfile) –Subject headings (subfile) –Additional entities Links between subject and books (indxfile) Links between authors and books (AU_BIB)

15. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management AUTHORS author -- The author’s name (We do not distinguish between Personal and Corporate authors) Au_id – a unique id for the author

17. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management BIBFILE Books (BIBFILE) contains information about particular books. It includes one record for each book. The attributes are: –accno -- an “accession” or serial number –title -- The title of the book –loc -- Location of publication (where published) –date -- Date of publication –price -- Price of the book –pagination -- Number of pages –ill -- What type of illustrations (maps, etc) if any –height -- Height of the book in centimeters

19. 10/2/2001SIMS 257 – Database Management CALLFILE CALLFILE contains call numbers and holdings information linking particular books with particular libraries. Its attributes are: –accno -- the book accession number –libid -- the id of the holding library –callno -- the call number of the book in the particular library –copies -- the number of copies held by the particular library
