    In so many courses, they use ridiculous language almost to make the information as indigestible as possible. Thank you so much for making an effort to convey a cohesive idea. Academia should learn a thing or two from you.

      agreed!! in university they would spend an hour to explain it, while still making the students confused

      OMG I agree. Its sucks because database and design is super important but is the dryest material ever.

      Need advice for normalisation of a database for purchases in a book store
      How would I normalise a table in 1nf 2nf and 3nf that has details for a customers purchase of different books-including Author, title, purchase date, price. There is 7 different books, with all the information above for each of the books
      Also for the purchaser there is contact information such as name and address. Can someone please explain this properly or give me an example. Thanks!

    This is actually an extremely amazing, if not the best breakdown of the three normal forms by far.

  • @TCamp72a
    @TCamp72a 3 года назад +62

    Stopping the video at 5:14 to make this comment. You put the first table into 1NF, but then to move on, you switched to a completely different example. From a viewer's perspective, it would have been more helpful in creating understanding to have the same example follow through all the forms of normalization. I'm not ungrateful... I truly appreciate this video! It's just a suggestion. :-)

    • @CausticTitan
      @CausticTitan 2 года назад +14

      @@studious_viewer I believe that Tracy means to say that he should have chosen a single example that was unstructured which could then move all the way to total normalization.
      I think that this would actually be better done as a "part 2" so that each transition can be viewed both in a vacuum, but also as a complete series of transformations.

    Thanks, I already knew how to do db normalisation (I can do it without thinking), but I need to "show my workings" for an assignment and I tend to get lost in the rules of the normal forms, this explanation is a big help! -your mention about splitting first name, last name is interesting, as I've seen people advocate for either approach (splitting, or leaving the full name). I think the best wisdom on the matter is, it depends on whether one needs to access the first name and last name separately or not. If no need, they can remain joined.

    4 years later... tomorrow I am going to have a meeting with a colleague from Data Science who disrespected 1NF.
    I don't know who or how is listening to me, but I didn't know anything about this and RUclips suggested this video in the New for me section of the Home.
    I feel like having buffed up with a side quest before having to beat a boss.

    Your tutorial is a gem, mate!! It's really simple, the examples are great, and (not to be racist but I feel every European that has recently started messing with programming) you speak in fluent, understandable English. I'm having such a hard time to understand Indians trying to explain anything in English, which is such a pity if you consider how great some of their tutorials are

    It would have been much better if you have used one (unstructured) example through out the video, and made use of keys on the 3NF because one person could be a winner more than once in different years of course or names be the same (highly unlikely but possible). Besides that, great tutorial, you made it much easier. Thank you.

    • @SamuelOgazi
      @SamuelOgazi 5 месяцев назад

      I agree that using the same dataset from start to finish might have had its own benefits.
      However, from the example you cited, even if the same person with the same name won all tournaments in the same year or multiple years, does it distort the 3NF?
      Won't every record or row still be unique as tournament names and years do the distinguishing?
