[edit] Merge with Normalization?

I feel this is too small... Can we merge it with Database normalization? Jam2k 14:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I and a few others have been editing Database normalization recently to split it up into separate articles for each normal form. Now that's happened, it'd probably be best to keep this article as the main article for denormalization, with a link from the database normalization article. --VinceBowdren 18:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Preferred Database Design?

Why does the author state that the "preferred" design for better query access is to use materialized views? In the next paragraph he states the more usual approach is to denormalize in the database design. If this approach is "more usual" than the former cannot be the preferred approach, can it? --67.111.175.98 22:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
