The PRIMARY benefit of database normalization is the:
A. minimization redundancy of information in tables required
to satisfy users? needs.
B. ability to satisfy more queries.
C. maximization of database integrity by providing
information in more than one table.
D. minimization of response time through faster processing
of information.
Answer Posted / guest
Answer: A
The normalization means the elimination of redundant data.
Hence, the objective of normalization in relational
databases is to minimize the quantum of information by
eliminating redundant data in tables, quickly processing
users? requests and maintaining data integrity. Maximizing
the quantum of information is against the rules of
normalization. If particular information is provided in
difference tables, the objective of data integrity may be
violated because one table may be updated and not others.
Normalization rules advocate storing data in only one table,
hence, minimizing the response time through faster
processing of information.
