- kristianp 8y agoI don't think I've heard of BCNF for a while, thanks for the mention. I doubt anyone uses more than 1NF. I've posted it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19140206 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19140206
- will_pseudonym 8y agoI remember having to learn how to normalize my data a lot when I was learning SQL, because the only tools available for use in my environment was a good ole' tool called Microsoft Access & VBA.
- dpark 8y agoI would be concerned if an engineer I worked with put forward a DB design that wasn’t normalized to 3NF without a really good reason. Designs that are 1NF but not 3NF are generally either hyper-optimized (better have a really good reason) or just bad. It’s not hard to get a DB into 3NF.
