Logical Model: Mapping to a Relational
Model
• Each entity in the ER Diagram becomes a
relation.
• A properly normalized (next time) ER diagram
will indicate where intersection relations for
many-to-many mappings are needed.
• Relationships are indicated by common columns
(or domains) in tables that are related.
• We will examine the tables for the Diveshop
derived from the ER diagram

Mapping to Other Models
• Hierarchical
– Need to make decisions about access paths
• Network
– Need to pre-specify all of the links and sets
• Object-Oriented
– What are the objects, datatypes, their
methods and the access points for them
• Object-Relational
– Same as relational, but what new datatypes
might be needed or useful (more on OR later)

Lecture Outline
• Review
• Logical Model for the Diveshop
database
• Normalization
• Relational Advantages and
Disadvantages
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 21
Normalization
• Normalization theory is based on the
observation that relations with certain
properties are more effective in inserting,
updating and deleting data than other sets
of relations containing the same data
• Normalization is a multi-step process
beginning with an “unnormalized” relation
– Hospital example from Atre, S. Data Base:
Structured Techniques for Design,
Performance, and Management.

First Normal Form
• To move to First Normal Form a relation
must contain only atomic values at each
row and column.
– No repeating groups
– A column or set of columns is called a
Candidate Key when its values can uniquely
identify the row in the relation.

1NF Storage Anomalies
• Insertion: A new patient has not yet undergone
surgery -- hence no surgeon # -- Since surgeon
# is part of the key we can’t insert.
• Insertion: If a surgeon is newly hired and hasn’t
operated yet -- there will be no way to include
that person in the database.
• Update: If a patient comes in for a new
procedure, and has moved, we need to change
multiple address entries.
• Deletion (type 1): Deleting a patient record may
also delete all info about a surgeon.
• Deletion (type 2): When there are functional
dependencies (like side effects and drug)
changing one item eliminates other information.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 29
Second Normal Form
• A relation is said to be in Second Normal
Form when every nonkey attribute is fully
functionally dependent on the primary
key.
– That is, every nonkey attribute needs the full
primary key for unique identification

1NF Storage Anomalies Removed
• Insertion: Can now enter new patients without
surgery.
• Insertion: Can now enter Surgeons who haven’t
operated.
• Deletion (type 1): If Charles Brown dies the
corresponding tuples from Patient and Surgery
tables can be deleted without losing information
on David Rosen.
• Update: If John White comes in for third time,
and has moved, we only need to change the
Patient table
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 34
2NF Storage Anomalies
• Insertion: Cannot enter the fact that a particular
drug has a particular side effect unless it is given
to a patient.
• Deletion: If John White receives some other drug
because of the penicillin rash, and a new drug
and side effect are entered, we lose the
information that penicillin can cause a rash
• Update: If drug side effects change (a new
formula) we have to update multiple occurrences
of side effects.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 35
Third Normal Form
• A relation is said to be in Third Normal Form if
there is no transitive functional dependency
between nonkey attributes
– When one nonkey attribute can be determined with
one or more nonkey attributes there is said to be a
transitive functional dependency.
• The side effect column in the Surgery table is
determined by the drug administered
– Side effect is transitively functionally dependent on
drug so Surgery is not 3NF

and rash is maintained.

2006.09.14 - SLIDE 39
Boyce-Codd Normal Form
• Most 3NF relations are also BCNF
relations.
• A 3NF relation is NOT in BCNF if:
– Candidate keys in the relation are composite
keys (they are not single attributes)
– There is more than one candidate key in the
relation, and
– The keys are not disjoint, that is, some
attributes in the keys are common
IS 257 – Fall 2006

Most 3NF Relations are also BCNF – Is

Fourth Normal Form
• Any relation is in Fourth Normal Form if it
is BCNF and any multivalued
dependencies are trivial
• Eliminate non-trivial multivalued
dependencies by projecting into simpler
tables
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 43
Fifth Normal Form
• A relation is in 5NF if every join
dependency in the relation is implied by
the keys of the relation
• Implies that relations that have been
decomposed in previous NF can be
recombined via natural joins to recreate
the original relation.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 44
Effectiveness and Efficiency Issues for
DBMS
• Focus on the relational model
• Any column in a relational database can
be searched for values.
• To improve efficiency indexes using
storage structures such as BTrees and
Hashing are used
• But many useful functions are not
indexable and require complete scans of
the the database
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 45
Example: Text Fields
• In conventional RDBMS, when a text field
is indexed, only exact matching of the text
field contents (or Greater-than and Lessthan).
– Can search for individual words using pattern
matching, but a full scan is required.
• Text searching is still done best (and
fastest) by specialized text search
programs (Search Engines) that we will
look at more later.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 46
Normalization
• Normalization is performed to reduce or
eliminate Insertion, Deletion or Update
anomalies.
• However, a completely normalized
database may not be the most efficient or
effective implementation.
• “Denormalization” is sometimes used to
improve efficiency.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 47
Normalizing to death
• Normalization splits database information
across multiple tables.
• To retrieve complete information from a
normalized database, the JOIN operation
must be used.
• JOIN tends to be expensive in terms of
processing time, and very large joins are
very expensive.

Denormalization
• Usually driven by the need to improve
query speed
• Query speed is improved at the expense
of more complex or problematic DML
(Data manipulation language) for updates,
deletions and insertions.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 51
Using RDBMS to help normalize

How to Normalize?
• Currently no way to have multiple authors
for a given book, and there is duplicate
data spread over the BIBFILE table
• Can we use the DBMS to help us
normalize?
• Access example…
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 55
Database Creation in Access
• Simplest to use a design view
– wizards are available, but less flexible
• Need to watch the default values
• Helps to know what the primary key is, or
if one is to be created automatically
– Automatic creation is more complex in other
RDBMS and ORDBMS
• Need to make decision about the physical
storage of the data

Advantages of RDBMS
• Relational Database Management
Systems (RDBMS)
• Possible to design complex data storage
and retrieval systems with ease (and
without conventional programming).
• Support for ACID transactions
– Atomic
– Consistent
– Independent
– Durable
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 59
Advantages of RDBMS
• Support for very large databases
• Automatic optimization of searching (when
possible)
• RDBMS have a simple view of the
database that conforms to much of the
data used in business
• Standard query language (SQL)
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.09.14 - SLIDE 60
Disadvantages of RDBMS
• Until recently, no real support for complex
objects such as documents, video, images,
spatial or time-series data. (ORDBMS add -- or
make available support for these)
• Often poor support for storage of complex
objects from OOP languages (Disassembling the
car to park it in the garage)
• Usually no efficient and effective integrated
support for things like text searching within fields
(MySQL does have simple keyword searching
now with index support)
