TM 6-2 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems What is a Relation? A relation is a named, two-dimensional table of data. Each relation consists of a set of named columns and an arbitrary number of unnamed rows. Not all table are relations

TM 6-14 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems Referential Integrity (Summary) Addition - you can’t add (insert) an ORDER record if Customer_ID (FK) does not exist (or does not match) a Customer_ID (PK) in the CUSTOMER table. Deletion - you can’t delete a CUSTOMER record if there is (are) related Customer_ID in the ORDER table.

TM 6-15 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems Integrity Constraints Referential Integrity – A rule that states that either each foreign key value must match a primary key value in the other relation or else the foreign key value must be null. –For example: Delete Rules Restrict Cascade Set-to-Null

TM 6-29 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems Normalization Normalization is the process of decomposing relations with anomalies to produce smaller, well- structured and stable relations.

TM 6-30 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems Data Normalization Normalization is a formal process for deciding which attributes should be grouped together in a relation (see Fig.6-7 next). Primarily a tool to validate and improve a logical design so that it satisfies certain constraints that avoid unnecessary duplication of data.

TM 6-32 Copyright © Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. & Dr. Chen, Business Database Systems Functional Dependencies and Keys Functional Dependency: The value of one attribute (the determinant) determines the value of another attribute. Candidate Key:An attribute, or combination of attributes, that uniquely identifies a row in a relation. A candidate key is always a determinant, while a determinant may or may not be a candidate key. Each non-key field is functionally dependent on every candidate key.
