<> What is paradigm ?
Normal form is a kind of criterion that database design follows , Different specifications require different paradigms .
<> The three most commonly used paradigms
First paradigm (1NF)： Attribute indivisible , That is, each attribute is an indivisible atomic item .( The attributes of an entity are the columns in the table )
Second normal form (2NF)： Satisfy the first normal form ; And there is no partial dependency , That is, the non primary attribute must be completely dependent on the primary attribute .( Primary attribute is primary key ; Full dependency is for federated primary keys , A non primary key column cannot depend on only part of the primary key )
The third paradigm (3NF)： Satisfy the second normal form ; And there is no delivery dependency , That is, non primary attributes cannot have dependencies with non primary attributes , Non primary attribute must be directly dependent on primary attribute , Cannot indirectly depend on the primary attribute .（A ->
B, B ->C, A -> C）
<> Examples 3NF：
<>1NF
Attribute cannot be subdivided , That is, each column in the table can no longer be split .

If the student's phone number is often used when querying the student table , Contact information (contact) This column is divided into telephone numbers (phone) And address (address) Two columns , This is the first paradigm .
Modify to make the table meet 1NF after ：

Judge whether the table conforms to the first normal form , Whether the column can be subdivided , It depends on the demand , If the telephone number and address are separated, the query and other requirements can be met
Hour , The previous table design was not satisfied 1NF of , If the telephone number and address are spliced as a field, it can also meet the query , Storage and other requirements , Then it will be satisfied 1NF.
<>2NF
In meeting 1NF Under the premise of , There are no partial dependencies in the table , Non primary key columns are completely dependent on primary keys .( Mainly in the case of Federated primary keys , A non primary key column cannot depend on only part of the primary key )

The primary key in the table is stu_id and kc_id Combined primary key . satisfy 1NF; Non primary key column score Completely dependent on primary key ,stu_id and kc_id Two values to determine score Value of ; and kc_name Rely only on kc_id, And stu_id No dependencies , It does not depend entirely on the primary key , Depends on only part of the primary key , Non conformance 2NF.

Change the original score sheet (score) Split into grades (score) And Curriculum (kc), And both tables match 2NF.

In the table sex_desc Dependent on sex_code, and sex_code Dependent on id( Primary key ), So that sex_desc Dependent on id( Primary key );sex_desc Not directly dependent on primary key , Instead, rely on the primary key by relying on non primary key columns , Is a transitive dependency , Non conformance 3NF.

Change the original student After splitting the table , Both tables are satisfied 3NF.
<> What kind of table is easier to match 3NF?
Tables with fewer non primary key columns .(1NF Emphasize that the column cannot be subdivided ;2NF and 3NF Emphasize the relationship between non primary attribute columns and primary attribute columns )
Such as code table (sexcode), There is only one non primary key column sex_desc;
Or design the primary key of the student table as primary key(id,name,sex_code,phone), In this way, non primary key columns only have address, Easier to comply 3NF.
