Database normalization is a design technique by which relational database tables are structured in such a way as to make them invulnerable to certain types of logical inconsistencies and anomalies. Tables can be normalized to varying degrees: relational database theory defines “normal forms” of successively higher degrees of stringency, so, for example, a table in third normal form is less open to logical inconsistencies and anomalies than a table that is only in second normal form. Although the normal forms are often defined (informally) in terms of the characteristics of tables, rigorous definitions of the normal forms are concerned with the characteristics of mathematical constructs known as relations. Whenever information is represented relationally – that is, roughly speaking, as values within rows beneath fixed column headings – it makes sense to ask to what extent the representation is normalized.

IMHO 1NF, 2NF masih mudah dicerna. Tapiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 3NF, BCNF, 4NF, 5NF.. parah dah, rasanya bikin hidup lebih ndak normal deh. Saya sendiri belom tau database yang kaya gimana sampe perlu ke step 5NF.

Yup .. terhitung sejak tanggal 5 Feb ‘06 Sari dan Yudi resmi jadi ‘anak sekolahan’ lagi. Hihihih sempet rada ragu sama kemampuan sendiri. Berhubung sekarang saya sedang menanti buah hati kami, masih di trimester pertama pula, sempat takut gak kuat ngikutin semua aktifitas akademis. Tapi mencoba menetapkan hati dengan ‘bismillah’.

Alhamdulillah sampai hari ini berjalan lancar. Aktifitas kuliah serta kondisi fisik baik. Cuman suka laper euy kalo di kelas, maklum makan malamnya jam 6 sore, sementara kuliah sampai jam 9.30 malam. Pinginnya sih ‘nyuri’ makan biskuit kalo di kelas, cuman rada tidak enak hati uy. Hihihih … Walhasil, selalu sepulang kuliah, kita berdua craving for foods deh, entah di jalan atau di rumah. Malem ini kita sempat makan bubur Sukabumi di tebet. Hihihihih si restoran bubur sukabumi ini memang buka 24 jam, jadi kita gak khawatir dia tutup (kecuali kalau dia kebanjiran) which is not the case. Alhamdulillah …

Yah semoga kita berdua bisa menyelesaikan sekolah dengan baik (berdo’a). Still have many months to go to complete our study, hopefully we can make the best of it. Aminnnnnnn ….
