Needing to using more complicated SQL in database applications is a(n) ________ of normalization.

  • A.advantage
  • B.disadvantage
  • C.either an advantage or disadvantage
  • D.neither an advantage nor disadvantage

Answer: B

Correct answer: disadvantage

Normalization spreads data across more tables, so a query that once read a single table now needs joins and often subqueries. That extra complexity is a real cost - harder to write, harder to read and slower to run - and it is one of the two standard disadvantages set against the elimination of modification anomalies. It is why denormalization is sometimes chosen deliberately.
