6. Method 1—The Old Way 1. Eliminate Repeating Groups 2. Eliminate Redundant Data 3. Remove Items Not Dependent On Key

7. Eliminate Repeating Groups Make a separate table for each set of related attributes, and give each table a primary key. How? Split the table into two tables: Puppy Table = Puppy Number + Puppy Name + Kennel Code + Kennel Name + Kennel Location Trick Table = Puppy Number + Trick ID + Trick Name + Trick Where Learned + Skill Level

8. Eliminate Redundant Data If an attribute depends on only part of a multi-valued key, remove it into a separate table. How? Split the Trick Table into two: Tricks and Puppy Tricks. Tricks = Trick ID + Trick Name Puppy Tricks = Puppy Number + Trick ID + Trick Where Learned + Skill Level Puppy Table = Puppy Number + Puppy Name + Kennel Code + Kennel Name + Kennel Location

9. Remove Items Not Dependent On Key Tricks = Trick ID + Trick Name Puppy Tricks = Puppy Number + Trick ID + Trick Where Learned + Skill Level Puppies = Puppy Number + Puppy Name + Kennel Code Kennels = Kennel Code + Kennel Name + Kennel Location If attributes do not contribute to a description of the key, remove them to a separate table. How? Split Puppy Table into two tables: Puppies and Kennels
