If this design were adhered to, the lecture
hours would be repeated many times, and
any change would require many updates to
the database. Also, if no students were
taking a particular subject-perhaps
temporarily during the vacation- then there
would be no possibility of storing the lecture
hours data.

Overall this process of normalisation
helps to ensure that information is
stored once only, and that
inconsistencies do not occur in a
database when data is added or
deleted.
EXAMPLE
The resulting set of relations after normalisation
might be as follows:
STUDENT(Student Number#, Name, Address, Staff
Number of Tutor)
COURSE(Student Number#, Subject Number#,
Exam mark)
SUBJECT(Subject Number#, lecture Hours)
TEACHER(Staff Number#, Name, Subject,
Department)
DEPARTMENT(Department#, office Location,
Location).
