Datebase Normalization
The process of producing a simpler and more reliable database structure is called normalization. It is used to create a suitable set of relations for storing data. This process works through different stages known as normal forms. These stages are 1NF, 2NF, 3NF and so on. Each normal form has certain requirements or conditions. These conditions have to be fulfilled to bring the database in that particular normal form. If a relation satisfies the conditions of a normal form, it is said to be in that normal form.
The task of database design starts with an unnormalized set of relations. The process of normalisation identifies and corrects the problems and complexities of database design. It produces a new set of relations. The new design is as free of processing problems as possible.
DBMS mcqs with answers set 9 includes the mcqs of relational data integrity, referential integrity, datebase anomalies, types of anomalies, normalization, functional dependency, first normal form, second normal form, third normal form, transitive dependency, fourth normal form and Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF). These database mcqs are very helpful for those who are preparing UGC NET, GATE exam, PPSC lecture computer science test 2020, database designer job test, database developer jobs test, SPSC, FPSC, KPPSC OR CSS based private or government jobs. Its also very helpful for international students who want to be appear in Microsoft SQL and Oracle certification exams.
