The goal of normalization is to
Correct answer: A. Get a stable data structure
- A. Get a stable data structure
- B. Increase number of relations
- C. Functional dependency
Explanation
The main goal of normalization is to organize data in a database in a way that reduces redundancy and improves data integrity. This is achieved by following a set of rules that progressively eliminate anomalies (insertion, deletion, and update anomalies) that can lead to inconsistencies and data loss. A stable data structure with minimal redundancy is essential for efficient data manipulation and retrieval

About Databases
Databases cover tables, records, fields, keys and relationships, together with database management systems and relational database design. The subject includes primary and foreign keys, normalization, SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, queries, forms and reports, while distinguishing a database from a spreadsheet used for simple tabular data.
