Answer to Question 1

The advantages of normalization are that it (1 ) eliminates modification anomalies and (2 ) reduces duplicated data.

The disadvantages of normalization are that it (1 ) will require application developers to write more complicated SQL statements for multitable subqueries and joins, and (2 ) may slow down the applications running against the database.
