Database Questions

Q #7) Explain Normalization and De-Normalization.

Answer:

Normalization is the process of removing redundant data from the database by splitting the table in a well-defined manner in order to maintain data integrity. This process saves much of the storage space.

De-normalization is the process of adding up redundant data on the table in order to speed up the complex queries and thus achieve better performance.
8) What are the different types of Normalization?

Answer: Different types of Normalization are:

First Normal Form (1NF): A relation is said to be in 1NF only when all the entities of the table contain unique or atomic values.
Second Normal Form (2NF): A relation is said to be in 2NF only if it is in 1NF and all the non-key attribute of the table is fully dependent on the primary key.
Third Normal Form (3NF): A relation is said to be in 3NF only if it is in 2NF and every non-key attribute of the table is not transitively dependent on the primary key.

How to resolve 3 sums alternative to O(n^3) in PHP

Complexity Analysis: 

  • Time Complexity : O(n2). 
    Only two nested loops are required, so the time complexity is O(n2).
  • Auxiliary Space : O(1), no extra space is required, so the time complexity is constant.
<?php
// PHP program to find
// triplets in a given
// array whose sum is zero
 
// function to print
// triplets with 0 sum
function findTriplets($arr, $n)
{
    $found = false;
 
    // sort array elements
    sort($arr);
 
    for ($i = 0; $i < $n - 1; $i++)
    {
        // initialize left
        // and right
        $l = $i + 1;
        $r = $n - 1;
        $x = $arr[$i];
        while ($l < $r)
        {
            if ($x + $arr[$l] +
                     $arr[$r] == 0)

                $l++;
                $r--;
                $found = true;
            }
 
            // If sum of three elements
            // is less than zero then
            // increment in left
            else if ($x + $arr[$l] +
                          $arr[$r] < 0)
                $l++;
 
            // if sum is greater than
            // zero than decrement

Complexity Analysis: 

  • Time Complexity: O(n2). 
    Since two nested loops are required, so the time complexity is O(n2).
  • Auxiliary Space: O(n). 
    Since a hashmap is required, so the space complexity is linear.
