KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – BCNF:


BCNF stands for Boyce–Codd Normal Form, which is an advanced level of database normalization used in relational database design. It is a refinement of earlier normalization rules and is intended to eliminate certain types of redundancy and dependency problems that may remain in databases structured under earlier normal forms.


In a database organized according to Boyce–Codd Normal Form, every determinant in a table must be a candidate key. This requirement ensures that each piece of data depends only on a proper key, helping maintain consistency and reducing anomalies during data insertion, updating, or deletion. BCNF is commonly applied in database design to improve data integrity and efficiency.
