Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
You are redesigning a relational database that currently stores supplier contact details in every row of a Product table. To meet third normal form (3 NF), you decide to move the supplier details into a separate Supplier table and reference it from Product with a foreign key. What is the primary benefit of applying this normalization step?
It converts every one-to-many relationship in the database into a many-to-many relationship.
It guarantees that all future queries automatically use indexes without additional tuning.
It removes the requirement to define primary keys in the schema.
It reduces data redundancy and minimizes update, insert, and delete anomalies.
In third normal form, each non-key attribute must depend only on the primary key. By moving supplier contact information to its own table and referencing it with a foreign key, the same supplier data is stored once instead of being repeated in every product row. This reduces redundant data and prevents update, insert, and delete anomalies that occur when the same facts are duplicated in multiple places. Creating separate tables does not eliminate the need for primary keys, automatically create indexes for every query, or turn all one-to-many relationships into many-to-many relationships.
