Database Systems - Week 3
3rd Normal Form is making sure all the data is stored in a way where updates to a database can be done without having to update data in multiple locations. This will help so mistakes are not introduced where data is thought to have been updated but then outdated or incorrect information can still be pulled without realizing it. Creating Primary Keys and Foreign keys which rely on other table's Primary Keys ensures data integrity is kept. Also, you should not have to store the same data in multiple table except for those keys.
A SQL View is a temporary table that pulls data from the actual live database tables. It is used only for an existing query and is recreated every time you pull data from the View. It is very similiar to a table except that the table is actually stored on the server and the View is pulled from the database and then stored into the View on the client side.
