Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the result of applying the first normal form (1NF) to a table?
  • Step 1: Understand what a table is. A table is a way to organize data in rows and columns.
  • Step 2: Identify the attributes (columns) in the table. Each attribute should hold a specific type of information.
  • Step 3: Check if any attribute contains multiple values. For example, if one cell has 'apple, banana', it is not atomic.
  • Step 4: If you find any attribute with multiple values, split those values into separate rows or create a new table.
  • Step 5: Ensure that each cell in the table contains only one value. This means every attribute should be atomic.
  • Step 6: Review the table to confirm that all attributes are now atomic and that the table is in 1NF.
