In a data base how can reduce the redundency?
I have one table
Table
Email_Address
Name
contact_No
city
Pincode
state
country
I divided into two parts
Table1
Email_Address(PK)
Name
contact_No
city
table2
city
Pincode
sta开发者_运维问答te
country
how i can maintain the relationship between this table.
City
would be the primary key of table2
and a foreign key in Table1
. (But that requires city names to be globally unique and have only a single pincode each).
You need to be sure that a single city
has only one Pincode
.
If that is not the case, probably use the Pincode
as primary/foreign key instead of city
.
Update: Since apparently there are cases where some pincodes span multiple cities, you probably need to live with the redundancy or introduce an artificial key. Also see the links to similar questions here in the comments.
