If one designed separate tables for employees and departments in Week 2 assignment, one will want to combine the employee and department tables before one begins this assignment. One's combined table should be called tbl_employee. The tbl_employee contains information about the employee and its department, and it contains the following fields (one may also include other missing fields from Week 2 design): employee_id, employee_gender,employee_salary, employee_annual_sallary, department_name, department_location, department head.

For this assignment, one will make use of the database normalization skills that one learned to normalize one's database to the third normalization form. One will need to organize one's columns and tables to reduce data redundancy and arrange attributes based on the relationships.

In the paper,

• Provide a screenshot of the database design before the normalization. One needs to Create a heading titled "Database Before Normalization."
• Provide a screenshot of the database design after the normalization. One needs to Create a heading titled "Database After Normalization."
• Describe the three normalization forms and the guidelines for transforming from lower normal forms to higher normal forms.
