Database Normalization: Sixth Normal Form

Показать описание
In this video, we explain what Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is and why it slots in as the third most-important normal form. We look at two separate use cases in which 6NF can make sense and I provide some guidance on when 5NF is good enough versus when 6NF is better.

This was a really nice series! Somebody asked me a question about normalization, I'm going to send them over here.

I am a fan of NULLs, but I do realize they are dangerous. The truth is that in SQL you cannot escape them, because of outer joins and other language constructs. Think of them like heart surgery; if you need it. It's very very handy, however, if you don't need it, NULL should not be your first choice.
