What Is Update Anomaly?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating


    Logical inconsistencies can occur in tables that are not sufficiently normalized. These inconsistencies are because of various anomalies which involves data operations. This information can be expressed on multiple records and updates can result in logical inconsistencies.  

    For example a change in employee address will potentially be applied to multiple records. If all the records can not be updated, the table will be left in an inconsistent state. The table will provide conflicting answers to a particular query involving employee address. This condition is known as Update Anomaly.
