| Sep 22, 2012 at 23:42 | comment | added | ack__ | Does it mean normalization is not used in real ? I planned to use it as a starting point, and will consider denormalizing when it slows performance down. | |
| Sep 22, 2012 at 23:06 | comment | added | Philᵀᴹ | I hope such a tool doesn't exist. 2NF/3NF doesn't need to be enforced. Designing a schema/model often has to take practicalities and performance considerations into account, which usually chucks xNF out of the window | |
