Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
A single relational table stores both project assignments and employee contact details, causing each employee phone number to appear in multiple rows. Which relational design concept should you apply to eliminate this duplication while still allowing projects to reference the correct employees?
Create a nonclustered index on the phone number column.
Normalize the schema by placing employee data in a separate table linked with a foreign key.
Denormalize the table to include all employee and project columns together.
Apply horizontal partitioning to split the table by project.
Normalization restructures data into separate, related tables so that each fact is stored only once. By moving employee details to their own table and referencing that table from the project-assignment table with a foreign key, redundant phone numbers are removed and update anomalies are avoided. Denormalization does the opposite by intentionally introducing redundancy. Indexing and horizontal partitioning can improve performance or manage large datasets, but neither addresses repeated data values or integrity concerns.
