Normalization is one of the main concepts applied when designing the logical database. Normalization is the process used by database designers to create intuitive, well-structured databases. Normalization takes complex inputs, such as data structures, and converts them into simple, non-redundant, low-maintenance structures. Normalization employs non redundancy by following the concept of functional dependence, which creates relationships between attributes that are dependent on each other. Normalization is such an important concept in logical database design because it promotes this non-redundancy. Redundancy in database design is not only bad practice &#8211; it is also costly and ineffective. If a database stores the same data in multiple places, these values may contradict each other, which causes the integrity of the database to fail as no one knows which value is correct. This is also costly because you are paying to store the same data more than once. Database storage is already costly as it is, so it is important to prevent redundancy as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Taylor Trench<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An important concept from this unit\u2019s reading that stood out to me was the concept of normalization.
