Lab 09 – Normalization — For ron tarr
(UNF, 1NF)
Objective:
· Students create the Un-normalized Form (UNF) relation from a user view.
· Students identify a Multi-valued Dependency (a.k.a. Repeating Group )
· Students create the First Normal Form (1NF) relation from the UNF.

Submission:
Only submit the last section, which has just a 2 line result. However it is extremely important that you work through the first part.
This submission is simpler because receiving 40 emails, opening them and posting the marks takes a lot of time.
When you get to the last page you are going to copy the 2 or 3 lines into the body of the email and mail it to me.
Make sure you email has Lab09 and your name and section
in the subject line
Definitions:
Definition: Normalization is the process of assigning attributes to relations in such a way that data redundancies are reduced or eliminated.
Definition: User Views can be individual descriptions, reports, forms, or lists of data that are required to support the operations of a particular database user.
Definition: Unnormalized form (UNF) is a relation that contains one or more Multi-valued Dependencies.

Definition: A Multi-valued Dependency is an attribute or collection of attributes within a relation that has multiple values for a single value of the primary key for that relation.
Definition: A relation is in 1NF if it does not contain any multi-valued dependencies.

Instructions:
Step 1: Create UNF Relation from a User View. The goal here is to create a single relation for the data found in the user view. The method used is:
· Examine the user view
· Identify all attributes
· Describe the user view using DBDL

Here is an example of a user view. This reports lists the customers of the Premiere Corporation.

A. Examine the user view: As you examine this report, you can see that it contains a title, a line of column headings and the body of the report. Each line in the body of the report contains data about a particular customer. For example we can see that in the first line of the body of the report, there is data about Customer 124. This customer’s name is Sally Adams and she lives at 482 Oak in Lansing, Michigan (MI). The Sales Representative who calls on Sally Adams is Sales Rep Number 03.
B. Identify all attributes: The attributes (or characteristics) of a User View can often be found by simply looking at the column headings. In our Customer Report we see that we have the following attributes: Customer Number, Customer Name, Street, City, State, Zip Code and Sales Representative Number.
C. Describe the relation using DBDL: Database Design Language (DBDL) is a standardized way of describing relations of a relational database. You describe a relation by:
a. Choose an appropriate name for the relation. We chose to name our relation CUSTOMER because each line in the report describes customer data.
b. List the attributes you found in the user view inside square brackets, giving each attribute a suitable attribute name. Note: calculated fields or derived fields should not be included in the DBDL
c. Determine which attribute would be suitable as a primary key and underline that attribute.
The DBDL for the relation resulting from our Customer user view would look as follows:

CUSTOMER [ CustNo, CustName, CustStreet, CustCity, CustSt, CustZip, CustRep ]

Now you try it. Examine the following report:

Step 2: Recognize Multi-valued Dependencies.
For example, looking at the following User View, we see that for each Customer number, it is possible to have multiple values for the order number and order date attributes. Therefore the order number and date are a multi-valued dependency.
Premiere Corporation Customer Orders

Customer Number
Name
Order Number
Order Date

Identify multi-valued dependencies in DBDL by placing brackets around them. For example the DBDL for this User View would look like this:
CUSTOMER [ CustNo, CustName, (OrderNum, OrderDate) ]
Notice the brackets around the OrderNum and Orderdate attributes. This quickly and easily identifies a multi-valued dependency to someone who is reading the DBDL.
Common Mistake: A common mistake is to incorrectly identify repeating data as a multi-valued dependency. For example, the previous report could also have been printed in the following way:
Premiere Corporation Customer Orders

Customer Number
Name
Order Number
Order Date

124
Sally Adam
12489
2016-09-02

Mary Nelson

522
Mary Nelson
12504
2016-09-05

The fact that the Customer Number and Name for Sally Adams and Mary Nelson have been repeated on multiple lines does not make Customer Number and Name a multi-valued dependency! You should still identify that for one customer number, there are multiple values for the order number and date. Note that this does not mean that EVERY customer number will have multiple order numbers, just that this user view shows that it is possible for some customer numbers to have multiple values for Order Number and Date. The Multi-valued Dependency must be identified in the DBDL. Note also that it is possible to have more than 1 multi-valued dependency.

Step 3: Create 1NF relations from UNF.

Therefore, the process of taking a relation from UNF to 1NF, involves resolving the multi-valued dependencies.
Method:
· Choose a primary key for the multi-valued dependancy.
· Identify the primary key of the multi-valued dependancy by underlining it or writing (PK) .
· Rewrite the DBDL by removing the paranthesis and concatenating the original primary key with the primary key of the multi-valued dependency.
· Rewrite the DBDL with the two-part Primary Key and include all the non-key attributes.

For example, using our previous report from part B, we had the following:
UNF: Customer [ CustNo, CustName, ( OrderNum, OrderDate ) ]
A. Choose a primary key for the repeating group: OrderNum would make a suitable primary key for the repeating group as it uniquely identifies the data in the repeating group.

B. Rewrite the DBDL by removing the paranthesis and concatenating the original entity name with the entity name of the multi-valued dependency.

CustOrder [ CustNo, OrderNum, CustName, OrderDate ]

NOTE: If we start with a relation that does not contain any multi-valued dependencies, it is already in 1NF.
