Database Normalization process

Objective: Normalize table to third normal form (3NF)

Submission requirements:

• For all text and image submissions, use MS Word.

• For all SQL code submissions, use MS Word.

• For all diagrams submissions, use MS Visio.

• If the submission is more than one file:

1. Name each item appropriately.

   1. For example: LAB3-Normalization-yourName.vsd, LAB3-Questions-yourName.docx

2. Save each item in a single folder.

3. This folder should also be named appropriately.

   Lab: For this assignment, you will normalize the below Orders table to 3NF. Make sure to identify all the entities and their attributes, especially if you make any new items (such as entity or attributes). The following is a list of possible attributes for ORDERS; you may have more:

    

   ORDERS

   OrderNo

   CustomerNo

   CustomerName

   CustomerAddress

   CustomerCity

   CustomerState

   CustomerZip

   OrderDate

   ItemsOrdered

   Total

    

   Submit dependency diagrams for all entities you create. The following table is a sample of data, before ORDERS was normalized. Please start with the below table and then write out each dependency diagram as you move from 1NF to 2NF to 3NF. Show your progress and submit your final document with all dependency diagrams in Blackboard.
