Why Be Normal?
In essence, "be normal" means normalize your tables—that is, consolidate common data in related tables. Processing the same data that appears in multiple places can significantly slow down your application. This slowdown is the result of both the volume of data that is generated, as well as the need to update all copies of the data whenever the data changes. Suppose a company address appears in both the Customers table and the Orders table. If the company address changes, it must be changed in both the Customers table and in the Orders table. This information should be included only in the Customers table. Queries should be used to combine the address and order data when needed.I Thought You Just Told Me to Normalize
When it comes to performance, unfortunately, there are no hard-and-fast rules. Although most of the time you gain performance by normalizing your data structure, denormalizing your structure can help at times. This generally is the case when you find yourself creating a particular join over and over again. Another example is an accounting application in which you need to be able to readily see the total amount that a customer owes. Instead of evaluating all the open invoices each time you move to a customer record, you can store the total amount that the customer owes on the customer record. Of course, this requires that you update the summarized figure whenever the customer is billed or makes a payment. In summary, you can try denormalizing the data to see whether dramatic performance improvements result. Remember that denormalization has definite downsides regarding data integrity and maintenance.This material orginally appeared in Alison Balter's book Mastering Microsoft Office Access 2007 Development.
