A relation is in 3NF when it is in 2NF and there is no transitive dependency or a relation is in 3NF when it is in 2NF and all non-key attributes directly depend on candidate key.Third normal form (3NF) is the third step in normalizing a database and it builds on the first and second normal forms, 1NF and 2NF.3NF states that all column references in referenced data that are not dependent on the primary key should be removed. Another way of putting this is that only foreign key columns should be used to reference another table, and no other ... Read More

Let us begin by understanding what a functional dependency is in the database management system (DBMS).Functional DependencyFunctional dependency refers to the relation of one attribute of the database to another. With the help of functional dependency, the quality of the data in the database can be maintained.The symbol for representing functional dependency is -> (arrow).Example of Functional DependencyConsider the following table.Employee NumberNameCitySalary1bobBangalore250002LuckyDelhi40000The details of the name of the employee, salary and city are obtained by the value of the number of Employee (or id of an employee). So, it can be said that the city, salary and the name attributes ... Read More

The overall design of the database is called database schema. Schema will not be changed frequently. It is the logical structure of a database. It does not show the data in the database.The schema is pictorially represented as follows −Types of SchemaThe different types of schemas are as follows −Physical schema − It is a database design at the physical level.It is hidden below the logical schema and can be changed easily without affecting the application programs.Logical schema − It is a database design at the logical level. Programmers construct applications using logical schema.External − It is schema at view ... Read More

It is the relationship between the instances of two different entity types. Two entities will participate in the relationship.ExamplePerson and events are two different entity types which are related by using the relationship called “attends”.Mapping ER diagram with binary relationshipMapping one to many relationshipExampleHere, Create two tables for two entities.Primary key of one side relation is a foreign key for many side relations.One side relation is customer and many side relations is Order.The primary key cutomerID of the customer is a foreign key of order.The equivalent relations for the above ER diagram are as follows −One-one, many-one, many-many can be ...

The attributes that cannot be divided into sub-parts are called simple attributes. The attributes which can be divided into sub-parts are called composite attributes.ExampleBalance, account number are simple attributesName, address is called composite attributesLet’s consider an example of how to convert Entity Relationship (ER) model of composite attribute to Relational model.Methods for mappingName of relation = Entity set of ER diagramName of column = Attribute of ER diagramExampleIn this example, Name of the relation =studentName of columns=StdID, name, BranchThe equivalent relation for the above ER diagram is −StudentStdIDNameBranchNow apply this technique for Mapping ER diagram with a composite attribute as ...

Key is a data item which is used to identify a record or a value used to identify a record in a database is called a key. It helps uniquely to identify an entity from an entity set.Key allows us to identify a set of attributes that make them sufficient to distinguish entities from each other.ExampleAccount number, employee number, customer number are used as a key field because they specifically identify a record stored in a database.Foreign KeyIn a relation, the column whose data values correspond to the values of a key column in another relation is called a foreign ...
