Computer Programming and DBMS

This document discusses database normalization and outlines an activity involving normalizing a student grade report table. It explains that normalization is used to eliminate redundant data, reduce complexity, and ensure relationships between tables. The document lists the first four normal forms - 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, and BCNF - and provides a student grade report table to normalize with instructions to construct an entity-relationship diagram.

Finals Activities

Instructor: Romeo Balcita Submission: June 18, 2020

Database Normalization is used for following Purpose:


 To Eliminate the redundant or useless data.
 To Reduce the complexity of the data.
 To Ensure the relationship between tables as well as
data in the tables.
 To Ensure data dependencies and data is logically
stored.

Normal Forms

There are six normal forms, but we will only look at


the first four, which are:

 First normal form (1NF)


 Second normal form (2NF)
 Third normal form (3NF)
 Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF)

BCNF is rarely used.

We will use the Student_Grade_Report below, from a


School database

Given:
Student_Grade_Report (StudentNo, StudentName, Major,
CourseNo, CourseName, InstructorNo, InstructorName,
InstructorLocation, Grade)

Activity:
1. Apply Database Normalization
2. Construct the Entity- Relationship Diagram of the
given above.
