What is the purpose of dividing a sample table into two in database normalization?
What is the main purpose of normalization in a database?
Organize data into multiple related tables
Increase data redundancy
Slow down data retrieval
Delete all data
What is an Insertion Anomaly in a database?
Deleting pieces of information
Repeating data for every new row
Changing a particular data
Inserting data into the wrong table
What is the purpose of ensuring each column in a table contains atomic values?
To make data manipulation easier
To prevent data redundancy
To allow multiple values in a column
To make data retrieval slower
What is the consequence of not meeting the standards for 1NF in a database design?
Considered as bad DB design
Data is easily extended
Data is well-organized
Data retrieval is faster
What is the first step in the normalization process?
Ensuring data is easily extended and retrieved
Increasing data redundancy
Creating multiple unrelated tables
Deleting all data
What is the main goal of achieving the 3rd Normal Form (3NF) in database normalization?
Allow data to be stored in any format
Ensure data integrity
Allow data duplication
Increase data redundancy
What is the basic requirement for a database to be in the 1st Normal Form (1NF)?
Each column should have a unique name
Each column should contain atomic values
Each column should contain multiple values
Data order in the table matters
What is required for a database to be in the 3rd Normal Form (3NF)?
First and Second Normal Form
Transitive dependency
Composite Key
Partial dependency
What is a composite key in a database?
A key that is easy to guess
A key that is not unique
A key that is not needed
A key made up of multiple columns
Which of the following is an example of a composite key?
CourseID
Course Fee
Order no
StudentID
Which of the following is not a data redundancy issue/anomaly?
Update/Modification anomaly
Deletion anomaly
Insertion anomaly
Data Integrity anomaly
What is data redundancy?
A way to speed up data retrieval
A method to secure data
A technique of organizing data
The repetition of similar data at multiple places
What is the purpose of the 2nd Normal Form (2NF) in database normalization?
Allow data to be stored in any order
Ensure data is easily extended
Remove partial dependency
Increase data redundancy
