database - denormalization tables to 1NF -
how can denormalize 1nf.
-------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | v v v v ----------------------------------------------------------- |post_id|post_title|post_text|post_submited_time|user_name| ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ | | | | | v v v --------------------------------------------------------- |comment_id|comment_text|comment_submited_time|user_name| --------------------------------------------------------- ----------- | | | v -------------------- |post_id|comment_id| --------------------
i want 1 table in 1 normal form when normalize result tables.
it depends on database using, because there databases postgresql can have arrays or complex dataobjects datatype in columns. comes price: can not index nor organize data. might instance become difficult find out comments user has given on posts. if take @ own stackoverflow.com profile, see benefit of keeping information separated.
you can remove 1 table however. if create foreign key post_id in comments-table have 1 table less in design yet can make use of indices need.
