Discussion

One common design problem when designing a database from existing data is the presence of inconsistent values in the received data.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

Inconsistent values - the same thing recorded in different ways, with variant spellings, word orders or punctuation - are among the commonest problems in received data. They break grouping, counting and joining, and the standard way of exposing them is a GROUP BY on the column, which puts each variant in its own group.
