SQL 2012 :: Normalization Database Tables

Jan 15, 2015

I have decided to use Wufoo online forms so collect evaluation data from my clients. Each form will have different type of data.

For example

Form 1 might have:
Client id, name, user id, comments

Form 2 might have:
Client id, name, user id, address, comments, telephone number

Form 3 might have:
Client id, name, user id, comments, date of birth, email address

Each form can have over 20+ data types which can be all different to other forms.My question is: What is the best way to store all the data into sql server without creating new columns of new data types everytime a new form is created in wufoo.

Database De-normalization, Is It Worth It?

Feb 14, 2008

Is it worth it for performance purposes to create additional fields in table so that when a database query is made two tables don't need to be joined?

Database Table Normalization

Dec 8, 2005

Hi all,
This is actually a pretty stupid question, but somehow I need an answer from you experts.
We are currently building a web application using ASP.NET, and it simply manages contact information, like outlook. Contact information include first name, last name, birthday, etc. It also tracks address, phone number, and email. Here come the problem.
We allow only one address, 4 phone numbers and an email for each contact. When we building the database table, should we create 6 fields to contain all the information or should we create address, phone, and email table and then create the relationship between them.
Will the first method speed up the performance? Or the second method is the proper way?
I need some pros and cons on each
Thanks so much for your opinion
Sam

Database Normalization Question.

Sep 29, 2006

Hi,

I'm designing a database to represent items in a restaurant menu. An item has the following information associated with it.

Item-

Name, Price, Catagory, Ingredients(many), and Options(many)

Ingredients-

Name, and Price

Catagory-

Name

Options-

Name and Price.

This is how I have it set up so far.

-------------------------------------

Table Item

-ItemID as Primary Key

-Name

-Price

-------------------------------------

Table Ingredients

-IngID as Primary Key

-Name

-ItemID as relationship to Table Item

-------------------------------------

Table Catagory

-CatID as Primary key

-Name

-Item ID as relationship to Table Item

-------------------------------------

Table Options

-OptionID as Primary key

-Name

-ItemID as relationship to Table Item

-Price

I would like to know if i'm normalizing correctly. Much Thanks.

Dan

A treaty can have manypoliciesTreaty1Policy1Treaty1 Policy2A Policy can contain 1 or more benefitsPolicy1 Benefit1Policy1 Benefit2 etc.Giving structure as follows:-T - TB - B|PGiven the above, should there be a constraint between policy andTreatyBenefit or Policy and Benefit to enforce referential integrity.If so which constraint, if not what form of constraint / checkingshould I be using, to ensure that a Policy will contain the correctbenefits.ThanksAdrian

SQL 2012 :: Replication To A Database With More Tables Than Source

Apr 14, 2015

We need to replicate data from a live database to a reporting database nightly.

There is data which is only needed for the reporting function - namely the selection criteria for reports which are to be run nightly or monthly.

Is it possible to have extra tables in the target database, holding the selection criteria?

If not, we'll have the reports running heterogeneous queries between the target database and a separate database with the selection criteria in it.

SQL 2012 :: Unable To Export Tables From GIS Application To The Database

Oct 1, 2014

I am using SQL server 2012. An user tried to export tables from GIS application to the SQL database.

After export, and login to the SQL server, we see all the tables has his name as the schema but not dbo.

He was added as a login and user as in a windows group. Meaning he is a member of the windows group.

I assume when export, the default schema should be dbo. but apparently not.
I went to the setting and explicitly make the default schema for the windows group user to dbo. But he tried again, it still use his username as schema prefix to the tables. just wondering why is this?

SQL 2012 :: Possible To Find All Tables That Has A Join With Given Table In Database

Jan 7, 2015

I need to find all tables which has a join (either inside an sp, view, etc) with my given table in a db.

sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities doesn't work here.

Note: i dont want to identify by FK References, for 2 reasons:

1) tables might not met with a join (just FK was defined)
2) sometimes, a join happened between tables, without an FK defined

SQL 2012 :: Check Size Of Database After Implementing Data Compression Across All Tables

Dec 4, 2014

I found it pretty interesting. I checked the size of a database, before implementing database compression across all the user tables in a database. And Post implementation of compression too I checked the size of the database.

I did not find any difference. But if I expand the table and check propetires->storage and I can see that PAGE compression is implemented across all the tables, but no compaction in the size of the db. It still remains the same.

SQL Server 2012 :: Find Common Link Between Two Tables In Database Without Key Constraints?

Jul 17, 2015

CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )

What is the link between these two tables?

I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."

Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

Normalization

Nov 6, 2000

Is it possible to normalize a database using SQL statement? I have a huge duplicated records on a certain fields and need to do some normalization on it. For example, the raw data below

Field_A Field_B Field_C Field_D Field_E
1 0001 00/05/11 14.00 Start
1 0001 00/05/11 15.00
1 0001 00/05/11 16.00 End
1 0002 00/05/11 16.10 Start
1 0002 00/05/11 17.50
1 0002 00/05/11 17.10 End

should be normalized to

Field_A Field_B Field_C Duration(End-Start)
1 0001 00/05/11 16.00-14.00=2.00
1 0002 00/05/11 17.10-16.10=2.00


How can I do it using a SQL Query?

Please Look @ My Normalization

Mar 6, 2008

I'm working on a normalization for one of my classes and I've been sick and I feel lost now, could one of you please look at my database statements and tell me if/what is wrong with it?

FIRE_REPORT(FireID,Alarms,Address,FiremanID,FiremanName,FiremanPhone,FiremanHomeStation,StationAddress,StationPhone,TruckID,License,TruckHomeStation)

I came up with..

TruckID->License,TruckHome
FireID->Alarms,Address
FiremanID->FiremanName,FiremanPhone,FiremanHomeStaion,StationAddress,StationPhone

Which lead to...

FIRE(FireID,Alarms,Address)
FIREMAN(FiremanID,FiremanName,FiremanPhone,FiremanHomeStation,StationAddress,StationPhone)
TRUCK(TruckID,License,TruckHome)

Referencial Integriety Statements

FireID in FIRE_Report must exist in FireID in FIRE

FiremanID in FIRE_Report must exist in Fireman

TruckID in FIRE_REPORT must exist in TruckID in TRUCK


Please, someone tell me if this is right or not. -cheers

Advice Normalization

Jun 13, 2005

I have a web app which is used to do normal insert/update of employee info. Connected to each employee that is entered is some data that is imported from an outside source for each employee. The question I have is currently my database is very normalized and importing data from this outside source will be quite a pain because of this. Is it bad practice to denormalize a specific table if no user will every insert/update it beside DTS?

Am I Takin This Normalization Too Far?

Feb 25, 2004

Does this show "poor" design? It has been suggested to me to do a "Logical Model" of my data base and that will make it easier to "normalize" the tables. I tried this and come up with the following but I don't know if I am stretching it too thin. One rule of the 2NF is to ensure all tables have a primary key, and as you can see, my tbProjectTeam has a primary key, but that is made up of the entire row. Same goes for the tbDepartmentActivities.



tbEstimatedProjects
Reference (PK) | Name | City | Postal |...
-----------------------------------------------------------
1 | Some Project | Niagra Falls | N8E7J5 | ....

tbAwardedProjects
Project (PK) | Reference
-------------------------
1001 | 1

tbProjectTeam
Project (PK)| Login (PK) | Activity (PK)
-----------------------------------------
1001 | jsmith | Detailer

tbEmployees
Login (PK) | First | Last |......
----------------------------------
jsmith | Jim | Smith |.....

tbDepartmentListing
Login | DeptCode
---------------------
jsmith | ENG

tbDepartments
Code | Department
------------------------
ENG | Engineering

tblDepartmentActivities
Code (PK) | Activity (PK)
----------------------
ENG | Engineering
ENG | Detailer




Am I taking this too far or is the above structure something to be expected by a "good" normalized table structure?

Normalization Connundrum

Jul 20, 2005

I've come up with this issue in several apps now. There are things that, fromone perspective, are all handled the same, so it would be desirable that theyall be handled in the same table with some field as a type specification.From other perspective of foreign key relationships, however, they aredifferent things and can't be stored in the same table.For example, I have a scheme for indicating mappings between dimension recordsat one time period to new dimension records at another time period. I coulduse one set of tables for all mappings since they all work exactly the sameway, but then I can't set up DRI between the mapping tables and the dimensiontables. If I just make separate mapping tables for each dimension table, thenI'm creating 4 new tables per dimension table, all identical with respect towhat fields they contain, what kinds of unique constraints they have, and whatrelationships they have to each other with the sole distinction that they eachmap to the integer-type key of a different dimension table. I would not lookforward to doing maintenance on this schema!Is there any strategy for having the cake and eating it, too?

Normalization Question

Feb 13, 2008

I have 3 code tables :

create table cd_fiq_a
( fiq_id int not null primary key, fiq_name varchar(50) not null)

create table cd_sal_b
( sal_id int not null primary key, sal_name varchar(50) not null)


create table cd_rak_c
( rak_id int not null primary key, rak_name varchar(50) not null)



insert into cd_fiq_a values (1, 'Fiq1')

insert into cd_fiq_a values (2, 'Fiq2')



insert into cd_sal_b values (1, 'Sal1')

insert into cd_sal_b values (2, 'Sal2')

insert into cd_sal_b values (3, 'Sal3')

insert into cd_sal_b values (4, 'Sal4')

insert into cd_sal_b values (5, 'Sal5')



insert into cd_rak_c values (1, 'Rak1')

insert into cd_rak_c values (2, 'Rak2')

insert into cd_rak_c values (3, 'Rak3')

insert into cd_rak_c values (4, 'Rak4')


Now there is a relationship between cd_fiq_a, cd_sal_b and cd_rak_c. For a given Faq there can be one or more records of Sal. For a given Fiq and a given Sal there can be one or more records of Rak.
I am thinking that i can do it one table or two tables:

One Table Solution
----------------------------

create table relation_d
( relation_id int not null primary key,
fiq_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_fiq_a (fiq_id),
sal_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_sal_b (sal_id),
rak_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_rak_c (rak_id),
sort_order int not null )

Two Table Solution
---------------------------

create table relation_header_d
( relation_header_id int not null primary key,
fiq_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_fiq_a (fiq_id),
sal_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_sal_b (sal_id) )


create table relation_detail_e
( relation_detail_id int not null primary key,
relation_header_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES relation_header_d (relation_header_id),
rak_id int not null foreign key REFERENCES cd_rak_c (rak_id),
sort_order int not null )


Which solution is more normalized and will result in better execution of Sql? Or is there any other solution which is more better?

Thanks
