Normalization Process Example

In this example, we will look into how we can normalize the


database with the help of different Normal Forms. We will look into
each of the Normal Forms separately in this example.
Consider the table 1 shown below:

Institut Course Resu


Full Name
e s lt

Naveen DBMS,
IIT Delhi Pass
Kumar OS

Utkarsh IIT
CN. COA Fail
Tiwari Bombay

Utkarsh
IIT Kanpur OS Fail
Tiwari

Now, we are re-structuring the table according to the 1st Normal


Form.

Rules of 1st Normal Form


● Each table should contain a single value.
● Each record needs to be unique.
Table 1 after applying 1st Normal Form:

Full Name Institute Subject Result

Naveen Kumar IIT Delhi DBMS Pass

Naveen Kumar IIT Delhi OS Pass

Utkarsh Tiwari IIT Bombay CN Fail

Utkarsh Tiwari IIT Bombay COA Fail

Utkarsh Tiwari IIT Kanpur OS Fail

Consider the table 2 shown below:


Institut Subje Resu
Full Name
e ct lt

Utkarsh IIT
COA Fail
Tiwari Bombay

Utkarsh
IIT Kanpur OS Fail
Tiwari

Here, People having the same name are from different institutes. So,
we require Full Name and Institute to Identify a Row of the
database. For this, we have to remove Partial Dependency.
Let’s look at the 2nd Normal Form.

Rules of 2nd Normal Form


● The table should be in 1NF.
● Primary Key does not functionally dependent on any subset
of Candidate Key.
Table 1

Institut Resu
ID Full Name
e lt

Naveen
1 IIT Delhi Pass
Kumar

Utkarsh IIT
2 Fail
Tiwari Bombay

Utkarsh
3 IIT Kanpur Fail
Tiwari

Table 2

ID Subject

1 DBMS

1 OS
2 CN

2 COA

3 OS

Here, the Id in Table 2 is Foreign Key to the Id in Table 1. Now, we


have to remove Transitive Functional Dependency from our Table to
Normalize our Database. A Transitive Functional Dependency
basically tells us that there is an indirect relationship between
functional dependency.
Now, let us look at the 3rd Normal Form.

Rules of 3rd Normal Form


● The tables should be in 2NF.
● There will be no Transitive Dependency.

Table 1

Institut Result_I
ID Full Name

Finally, Our Database is Normalized. From the above-mentioned


example, we have reached our level of Normalization. In fact, there
are also some higher forms or next levels of Normalization. Now, we
are going to discuss them one by one.
