Lab 1

Normal forms
Exercise 1. You have been given a form which shows the details of tests done by different patients during
their visits to the hospital. In fact, when a patient goes to the hospital, he/she asks to be examined by a doctor of
a department. This doctor could ask him/her to do some tests and/or send him/her to another doctor of another
department. Then, the other doctor could also ask him/her to do other tests. A doctor belongs to only one
department. The Amount here is the remaining amount that the patient must pay for the test, after subtracting
the amount paid by the security social.

The hospital would like to set up a relational database corresponding to this form.

a. Normalize the database into 1NF including only one table. Give the content of the table as well
as the list of functional dependencies for the table.

b. Normalize the database into 2NF. Give the content of each table after as well as the list of
functional dependencies for each table after normalizing.

c. Normalize the database into 3NF. Give the content of each table after as well as the list of
functional dependencies for each table after normalizing.
