- A question which I am debating...
-
- What are the merits of not putting the zip code attribute
- and a state attribute in the same table? Say an address table.
- If you have a relation with last name, street address, phone,
- state, and zip, is it really in thrid normal form? What about
- placing zip in this table, and then having state somewhere else?
- After all, the zip code does determine the state. Also can anybody
- think of any archives on the net that have text files that talk about
- normalization of data? (1NF, 2NF, 3NF, BCNF) Thanks. Any help
- appreicated...
