Activity 5.2: Normalizing Data In this activity, you will normalize a set of entities from the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study. Objectives After completing this activity, you will be able to: • Normalize a logical data design to third normal form. Before You Begin This activity is completed individually, with a class discussion to follow. Time to complete this activity: 30 minutes 26 Activity 5.2: Normalizing Data Exercise 1: Creating a Normalized Data Design In this exercise, you will evaluate a logical design and then redesign it based on your knowledge of keys and normalization to produce a fully normalized data design. ! Normalize the design to third normal form 1. Review the ER diagram on the next page. 2. Identify the areas of the ER diagram in which normalization rules are violated as follows: a. Data is duplicated within multiple entities. b. Attributes of an entity are not directly associated with that entity. c. Each entity does not have attributes that uniquely define each instance. 3. On the page opposite the ER diagram, sketch out your own ER diagram with normalization applied to the third normal form. Keep in mind that the data design shown on the next page is not optimized in any way. The keys provided may need to be redesigned as part of the normalization process. Next, you will discuss your answers with the class.
