Analysis of DEPARTMENT_LKP:
  • Since “Dept No” and “Dept Desc” values will be repeated for several records in EMPLOYEE_DTL table, you have to design this lookup for saving the disk space.
  • You have to assign NOT NULL constraint for all columns since in general, lookups should not have null value.
  • You have to assign “Dept No” as the primary key to validate the detailed data in EMPLOYEE_DTL table.
