Discuss the benefits of achieving Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) in database design.
- Enhancing query performance
- Improving data integrity
- Reducing data redundancy and anomalies
- Simplifying data retrieval
Achieving BCNF helps in minimizing data redundancy and anomalies, thus improving data integrity. It ensures that every determinant is a candidate key, enhancing data integrity. BCNF may simplify data retrieval but does not directly impact query performance.
