A dba I once worked with told me how a professor of his one day describe 9th normal form, which he described as holding everything in just four tables. I've never seen any reference to it anywhere else.

For me, once you get to Boyce-Codd NF, it's pretty much good enough.

Matt Adams - GE Appliances - matt.adams_at_appl.ge.com When someone says "I want a programming language in which I only need say what I want done", give him a lollipop.

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
