1

Understand why Normalization is required

Recall

Tables need Primary Keys to uniquely identify records

Foreign Keys connect related tables

Composite Keys handle many-to-many relationships

Indexes improve read performance

Instagram stored post data like this:

But the problem is

  • Username repeats again and again
  • Comments are stored together
  • Updating username requires multiple changes
  • Risk of inconsistency and errors

Even with Primary & Foreign Keys, data can still be:

  • Redundant
  • Difficult to update
  • Error-prone

Databases need rules to:

  • Organize data properly
  • Reduce duplication
  • Avoid anomalies

 These rules are called Normalization

Normalization

  • Normalization is the process of removing duplicate data from a table.
  • Normalization divides a large table into smaller tables and links them using relationships.
