Table Information: Calculate The Total Space Reserved in Memory After De-Normalization Using Pre-Joining Technique

The document discusses calculating storage space requirements for a medical store's prescription database using normalization and de-normalization techniques. It states there are 10 million records in the prescription master table, with a 1:11 ratio to the detail table, resulting in 110 million detail records. It then calculates the storage needed as: Normalized at 8.1GB by summing the product of header bytes and record counts for each table. De-normalized at 11GB by using the combined header bytes for each record in the detail table.

Table Information

 Assume 1:11 record count ratio between Prescription table as master table and
Prescription details table for online Medical store’s database.
 Assume 10 million records in Prescription Table.
 Assume 10 bytes reserved for Prescription_ID in memory.
 Assume 40 bytes header for master table and 70 bytes header for details table.

1. Calculate the total space reserved in memory using normalization?

Records in Prescription Table= 10 million


Records in Prescription Table detail= 11 * 10 million=110 million

total space reserved in memory using normalization= (byte header for master table * Records in
Prescription Table) + ( bytes header for details table * Records in P.T. Detail)

Total space reserved in memory using normalization= (40 * 10 000000)+(70 * 110 000000)
Total space reserved in memory using normalization= 400000000 + 7700000000
Total space reserved in memory using normalization= 8100 000 000 bytes =8.1GB

2. Calculate the total space reserved in memory after de-normalization using pre-
joining technique

total space reserved in memory after de-normalization= (bytes header for details table + bytes
header for master table - bytes reserved for Prescription_ID in memory) * Records in P.T. Detail

total space reserved in memory after de-normalization=(70+40-10)*110 000000


total space reserved in memory=100*110 000000=11 000 000 000 bytes= 11 GB
