Database Design: Main Ideas

Objective

Ensuring data completeness Avoiding data redundancies Facilitating data access

Solution

Normalization

Reducing redundancies and improving data modification performance Renormalizations is often done to enhance reporting performance (at the expense of disk space and redundancy) Maintains the logical relationships between database objects

Referential Integrity
