  2. Lossless join decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_join_decomposition

    In database design, a lossless join decomposition is a decomposition of a relation into relations , such that a natural join of the two smaller relations yields back the original relation. This is central in removing redundancy safely from databases while preserving the original data. [ 1 ]

  3. Decomposition (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_(computer...

    A decomposition paradigm in computer programming is a strategy for organizing a program as a number of parts, and usually implies a specific way to organize a program text. Typically the aim of using a decomposition paradigm is to optimize some metric related to program complexity, for example a program's modularity or its maintainability.

  4. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It was first proposed by British computer scientist Edgar F. Codd as part of his relational model .

  5. Boyce–Codd normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyce–Codd_normal_form

    This was the first time the notion of a relational database was published. All work after this, including the Boyce–Codd normal form method was based on this relational model. The Boyce–Codd normal form was first described by Ian Heath in 1971, and has also been called Heath normal form by Chris Date .

  6. Multivalued dependency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivalued_dependency

    In database theory, a multivalued dependency is a full constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation. In contrast to the functional dependency, the multivalued dependency requires that certain tuples be present in a relation. Therefore, a multivalued dependency is a special case of tuple-generating dependency.

  7. Unnormalized form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unnormalized_form

    In database normalization, unnormalized form (UNF or 0NF), also known as an unnormalized relation or non-first normal form (N1NF or NF 2), [1] is a database data model (organization of data in a database) which does not meet any of the conditions of database normalization defined by the relational model.

  8. Fifth normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_normal_form

    Fifth normal form (5NF), also known as projection–join normal form (PJ/NF), is a level of database normalization designed to remove redundancy in relational databases recording multi-valued facts by isolating semantically related multiple relationships.

  9. Denormalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormalization

    Denormalization is a strategy used on a previously-normalized database to increase performance. In computing , denormalization is the process of trying to improve the read performance of a database , at the expense of losing some write performance, by adding redundant copies of data or by grouping data.
