 TABLES AFTER 3NF

In the payments table, the attribute PaymentMethodDesc depends on the

PaymentMethodID. There we need to create a separate table called, Payment Methods.
In addition, the attributes Cardholders Name and CreditCardExpDate depend on
CreditCardNumber and not on PaymentID. Therefore, we need to create another table,
Credit Cards. Now, the tables are:

 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 payments
table. Now, the tables are as follows:
