A database design using denormalization in relational database

Databases are critical to business information systems, and RDBMS is most widely usded for the database system. Normalization has been designed to control various anomalies(insert, update, and delete anomalies). However, normalized databese design does not account for the tradeoffs necessary for the performance. In this research, we develop a model for database desin by denormalization of duplicating attributes in order to reduce frequent join processes. In this model, we consider insert, update, and delete costs. The anomalies are treated by additional disk I/O which is necessary for each insert and update transaction. We propose a branch and bound method for this model, and show considerable cost reduction.
