I am familiar with CNF3 (and maybe I could remember 4) but am struggling with the fact that I distinctly remember being able to add duplicate rows to a table. Perhaps the DBMS was just flawed, or perhaps some DBMSs allow this, or perhaps my memory is just fouled up and the schema had some kind of instance-id in it.
