Normalization in DB2 – first normal form, second normal form
Answer Posted / mohan.s
First normal form (1NF) lays the groundwork for an
organised database design:
• Ensure that each table has a primary key: minimal
set of attributes which can uniquely identify a record.
• Eliminate repeating groups (categories of data
which would seem to be required a different number of times
on different records) by defining keyed and non-keyed
attributes appropriately.
• Atomicity: Each attribute must contain a single
value, not a set of values.
• 'First normal form' depends on functional
dependency formula f(x)=y. For every value of x there is
value for y.
