Whenever repeating groups occur, the repeating attributes must be removed and placed
Correct answer: C. Where it originates
- A. Where it belongs
- B. Where it doesn't belong
- C. Where it originates
- D. Where it nearly belongs
Explanation
Where it originates refers to the most appropriate table or location within the database schema where the repeating attributes can be consolidated to avoid redundancy and improve data integrity. This is because the repeating attributes represent data that likely applies to multiple groups and should be stored in a central location to be referenced by the original groups In database normalization, the process of removing repeating attributes and placing them in a separate table (where they originate) is a core principle to minimize redundancy and ensure data consistency

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.
