Chapter Introduction
• Discovery phase includes:– Gathering all existing data – Researching missing and incomplete data– Talking with users about data output needs
• Subsequent steps in process include:– Putting data into groups called tables– Identifying unique values for each record in those
tables – Designing database to produce desired output

extra records• Leads to inconsistent and inaccurate data
• Data redundancy– Same data repeated for different records

groups of fields• Field – Single characteristic of entity– Also called column
• Record– Values in each field in table– Also called row

Evaluating Field Values and Assigning Appropriate Data Types
• Data type – Determines how to store data in field
• DBMSs use different names for some data types
• How do you determine which data type to assign each field? – Depends on what function you want to derive
from data– Each data type has different properties

information• Common field – Field that appears in two or more tables and
contains identical data to relate tables– Primary key in first table– Foreign key in second table

Creating Table Relationships
• Goal in good database design – Create separate tables for each entity– Ensure each table has primary key– Use common field to relate tables
• Relate two (or more) tables– Query them as though they are one big table
• Join – Specifies relationship between tables and
properties of relationshipSucceeding in Business with Microsoft Access 2010 42

Understanding Referential Integrity
• Null value– Field does not contain any value
• Entity integrity– Guarantee that there are no duplicate records in table– Each record unique– No primary key field contains null values
• Referential integrity – If foreign key in one table matches primary key in second
table – Values in foreign key must match values in primary key

Understanding Referential Integrity (continued)
• When database does not enforce referential integrity – Problems occur that lead to inaccurate and
inconsistent data• Orphaned– No longer match between primary key in primary
table and foreign keys in related table

Overriding Referential Integrity
• Might want to override referential integrity – Intentionally change primary key – Delete parent record
• Cascade updates– Change primary key value so that DBMS
automatically updates appropriate foreign key values in related table
• Cascade deletes

Level 3 Objectives: Identifying and Eliminating Database Anomalies by Normalizing Data
• Learn the techniques for normalizing data• Evaluate fields that are used as keys• Test the database design

Normalizing the Tables in the Database
• Normalization– Design process– Goals:• Reduces space required to store data by
eliminating duplicate data in database• Reduces inconsistent data in database by
storing data only once• Reduces chance of deletion update and
insertion anomalies

Normalizing the Tables in the Database (continued)
• Deletion anomaly – User deletes data from database – Unintentionally deletes only occurrence of data in database
• Update anomaly – Due to redundant data in database– User fails to update some records or updates records
erroneously
• Insertion anomaly – User cannot add data to database unless preceded by entry
of other data

Normalizing the Tables in the Database (continued)
• Functional dependency– Column in table considered functionally
dependent on another column • If each value in second column associated with
exactly one value in first column• Partial dependency – Field dependent on only part of primary key
• Composite primary key– Primary key uses two or more fields to create
unique records in table

Normalizing the Tables in the Database (continued)
• Determinant– Field or collection of fields whose value determines
value in another field– Inverse of dependency
• Natural key– Primary key that details obvious and innate trait of
record• Artificial key– Field whose sole purpose is to create primary key– Usually visible to users

Second Normal Form
• 2NF• Table must be in 1NF • Must not contain any partial dependencies on
composite primary key• Tables in 1NF and contain primary key with
only one field – Automatically in 2NF

Third Normal Form
• 3NF• Only determinants must be candidate keys• Candidate key – Field or collection of fields that could function as
primary key but was not chosen to do so• Transitive dependency – Occurs between two nonkey fields both dependent on
third field• Tables in 3NF should not have transitive
dependenciesSucceeding in Business with Microsoft Access 2010 67

Chapter Summary
• Discovery:– Identify existing and missing data– Organize data into tables– Determine data types for each field
• Table relationships– Established through common fields– Types• 1:M• 1:1• M:N
