Design” Please
respond to the following:

performing normalization. Include in your discussion a detailed example on how
each factor would eliminate data redundancy.

Functionality” Please

repositories. Suggest at least two possible scenarios that could take place if
one of the steps in the data-modeling checklist (table 6.7 in Chapter 6 of the
