Why normalize databases?
Yesterday, my tutoring student asked me why databases need to be normalized at all. She said: “Wouldn’t it be easier to just have one big table with all the information?”

It’s a common first question when learning about relational databases.
At first, one big table (e.g. customer name, order date, product name, price) seems easiest.

I told her:
:blobcoffee: Because that quickly leads to data redundancy, anomalies, and integrity issues when inserting, updating, or deleting records.
:blobcoffee: Normalization means structuring data into separate, related tables, so that each fact is stored only once. This reduces redundancy & preserves consistency.

It's ironic.. I would literally work for *free* if it meant getting my foot in the door with data analysis. I genuinely believe I have the skills for it, I just don't have a tidy list of educational accolades and certifications. Is being a Data Analyst really so complicated that one needs a college degree? Why the hell aren't there apprenticeships for white-collar work? #DataAnalyst #MentalIllness #fml

Hello, new instance!!

Quick #introduction, I'm izzy, previously at @izzy@vis.social, but couldn't resist the pull of this wondrous gaming-focused instance. 😄

I've been a #dataAnalyst in #gameDev for... three? years now, both in #indie and #AAA on a long-running franchise.

Love the job and play tons of #videoGames (obv). Currently mostly #RocketLeague, re-playing Assassin's Creed (the OG), and #GenshinImpact.

I love #gardening, #SUPing, and e-biking in any season that's not winter.

HI ALL 👋

Here is a proper #introduction

Bonjour, I’m Aurélien!

I work as a #DataAnalyst in the #IT department at #Apple; I am currently located in Paris 🇫🇷 after having spent 4 years in Ireland

I enjoy building #Lego sets while listening to #ClassicalMusic; I also have a growing #AppleWatchBand #Collection ⌚️ (I own more than 200)

I love a good #TVShow 🎥 or #YouTube video, and enjoy #hiking and #skiing when I can; also a member of the #LGBTQ community 🏳️‍🌈

I’m excited to connect with others on Masto 👋🏻

Time for an #introduction! #DataAnalyst by day to pay the bills but I have varied interests and also hold a degree in #history. Hobbies include #crochet and #knit. #VeggieGrowing is one way I deal with stress. I don't #read like I used to but love most genres with #SciFiFantasy being an evergreen favorite. I live in #Pennslyvania but am from #Michigan and enjoy #travel, #hiking, and #photography. #PoliticalJunkie on the #liberal side.Will love your #PetPics and occasionally post #lego builds.

Redoing my #Introduction since I’m on a new server.

Hi! After studying chemistry, I’ve spent the last twenty five years in IT, first as a #Web1.0 programmer and #sysop during the 90’s, then in #itsupport and #dataanalyst roles this century.

I read “My Side of the Mountain” and “The Mysterious Island” as a kid and have always been fascinated with a diy approach to civilization: #camping, #gardening, #hamradio, and #brewing.

A quick #introduction!

I’m Natalie and I’m a #queer and #neurodiverse cyborg who lives in #Delaware. I'm currently looking for work as a #dataAnalyst, so hit me up if you know of anything that you think might be in my bailiwick.

I survived #necrotizingPancreatitis in 2018 and have complications, including #t3c #diabetes. I love my #insulinPump.

I’m also a #knitter, #watercolorist, and I’ve lost the #hugoAward twice. I read a lot of #SFF.
