RE: New buzz-word?

I understood hypernormalized to be "over" normalization of your database where you normalize the data so much it really isn't practical because you have to join many tables to get even a simple query out. 3rd normal form is what is usually pretty much what organization strive for.

my 2 cents worth.

How about hypernormalized meaning 4th or 5th normal form? 3rd Normal form is practical but 4th and 5th seems academic. Is it just me?

Good Morning All!

One of my SA's came to me asking if I know what it means to have 'hypernormalized' tables in a database. I am clueless. Has anyone heard of this, and if so can you point me to some FM's or other docs?

Thanx,
Mike
