Question

In your opinion, is denormalizing data important?

Answer 1

Denormalization of data is used to combine tables of multiple data into one so that they can be queried quickly. In my opinion, denormalizing data is important because the focus is on achieving the quick execution of the queries through redundancy implementation. This helps one to avoid costly joins in a relational database. Denormalization does not mean not doing normalization as it is an optimization technique that is applied after doing normalization. There are many advantages of this system like Retrieving data is faster as we do fewer joins and we need to look at a few tables only which is why retrieving queries can be simpler.
