TABLES AFTER 3 NF
In the Time Card Expenses table the Expense Code depends on Expense Code ID not on Time Card Expense ID. Therefore, for the tables to be in 3 NF, we need to create another table, Expenses. Also in the Invoice table, the attribute Payment Mode Name depends on Paymnet Mode ID and not on Paymnet Code. Therefore, we need to create a separate table Payment Modes. In addition, the attributes Card Holders Name and Expiry Date of Card depend on Card Number not Payment Code. Therefore we need to create another table Credit Cards. The updated table structures are shown here: CLIENT CLIENT Client_Code Company_Name Address Country Contact_Person Phone PROJECT PROJECT Project_Code Client_Code Employee_Code Project_Name Project_Description Estimate_Bill Start_Date End_Date

TABLES AFTER DENORMALIZATION

When we place the information about credit card in a separate table, the query performance during the generation of payment receipt will get affected due to creation of joins in every payment receipt. Therefore, for optimum performance, we denormalize and place the credit card information back into the invoice table. The updated table structures are shown here: CLIENT CLIENT Client_Code Company_Name Address Country Contact_Person Phone PROJECT PROJECT Project_Code Client_Code Employee_Code Project_Name Project_Description Estimate_Bill Start_Date End_Date
