❓ FAQs – Data Integrity and Normalization
Q1: What is Data Integrity?
Data Integrity refers to maintaining the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data stored in a database.
Q2: What is Normalization?
Normalization is the process of organizing database tables to reduce redundancy and improve data consistency.
Q3: What are Normal Forms?
Normal Forms (1NF, 2NF, 3NF) are rules used to structure database tables properly and eliminate data redundancy.
Q4: Why is a Primary Key important?
A Primary Key uniquely identifies each record in a table and prevents duplicate entries.
Q5: What is Data Redundancy?
Data Redundancy occurs when the same data is stored in multiple places unnecessarily.
