The document outlines the process of database normalization for an e-commerce system, starting with an unnormalized table containing redundant data. It details the steps of normalization through First (1NF), Second (2NF), and Third Normal Form (3NF), emphasizing the creation of separate tables for customers, orders, products, and payment methods to eliminate redundancies and dependencies. The final structure includes eight normalized tables that streamline data management and integrity.

Database Normalization - E-Commerce System

Before Normalization (Unnormalized Table)


Before normalization, all data is stored in a single table with redundancies and anomalies.
Example Unnormalized Table:

| OrderID | CustomerName | Email | ProductName | Seller | Quantity | Price | PaymentMethod |


ShippingAddress |
|---------|-------------|---------------|-------------|--------|----------|-------|---------------|----------------|
|1 | Ahron Leo | [email protected] | Shoes | Nike | 2 | 5000 | Credit Card | Digos
City |
|2 | John Doe | [email protected] | Shirt | Adidas | 1 | 2000 | PayPal | Manila
|

Step 1: First Normal Form (1NF)


1NF ensures that all columns contain atomic values and eliminates repeating groups.
- Splitting products into a separate table.
- Creating a separate Customer table.

Step 2: Second Normal Form (2NF)


2NF removes partial dependencies by ensuring non-key columns are fully dependent on the primary
key.
- Creating separate tables for Payment, Product, and Seller.
- Orders table references CustomerID.

Step 3: Third Normal Form (3NF)


3NF removes transitive dependencies, ensuring all non-key attributes only depend on the primary
key.
- Separating Shipping details into a new table.
- Creating a reference table for Payment Methods.

After Normalization: Final Normalized Tables


1. Customers (CustomerID, Name, Email)
2. Orders (OrderID, CustomerID)
3. Order_Items (OrderID, ProductID, Quantity, Price)
4. Products (ProductID, Name, SellerID, Price)
5. Sellers (SellerID, Name)
6. Payments (PaymentID, OrderID, PaymentMethodID)
7. Payment_Methods (PaymentMethodID, Method)
8. Shipping (ShippingID, OrderID, Address)
