How can BCNF be sensibly discussed if the earlier normal forms aren't known?Same way you can teach Algebra without learning Arithmetic first. You just ... uh ... well ... hmmm ... you ... oh never mind!
Wait - algebra isn't basic math?

The next bad normalisation myth is that normalisation always increases the amount of storage required - a database in 3NF will require more storage than the same data expressed in an unnormalised (not even 2NF) wayThat is a strange myth. How can a technique that reduces redundancy lead to more storage? :blink:
I once asked someone who believed it why he believed it. The answer I got was that normalisation increased the number of tables, so of course it increased the size of the database. He wouldn't budge from believing that this total non-sequitur was an absolutely correct logical proof of the myth. :angry:
Ah. So one big ball of lead weighs less than 1,000 feathers?
Sure it does - it only weighs 999 feathers.

Am I the only 1 who wants to answer... if you don't know that, then why are you teaching this stuff??http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1202806-150-1.aspx
Haven't you forgotten the old saying - 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach'? :hehe: 😛
And those who shouldn't, post their interview questions to forums.
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
I would love to get those interview questions, but I never have.
Come to my interview some day;-)

Darn, I was submitting an article here and as soon as I uploaded an image, it removed all the previous text I entered. That was painful. Anyone else seen this behavior here?
Yes - and after the second time I was ready to throw the laptop;-)

Do you just send the word doc to steve?
Frankly, the article editor is part of the reason for me not submitting more right now. I fear the frustration:-D

I've asked 'em in an interview. The interviewee passed, because he just exclaimed "I don't know that!" and made the right "screaming noise". Worked for me!I tried that once. Partially successful: we hired the guy, but shortly before his start date he was eaten by a grue.
I love Zork! Old school. Typed in various commands (I'm talkin the orig DOS version) until the wee hours. Mapped the place by hand on graph paper. Good times. Also played the orig Kings Quest by Sierra in a brand spankin new IBM PC Jr.
Then I grew up. Sort of.
I believe you can still download it for play on new computers.

I've always sent Steve a Word Doc. I think I tried the editor once and nearly killed myself while doing it.

I didn't have any problems when I submitted my articles. I did it through the editor. I guess I got lucky.
