+---Exercise 1:
+
+---Step 1:
+--- The raw dataset contains redundancy because author names are repeated for multiple posts.
+--- To normalize the data to 3NF, the schema is split into two tables:
+--- authors(author_id, author_name)
+--- articles(article_id, title, word_count, views, author_id)
+--- This removes repeated author data and links each article to its author using a foreign key.

+---Exercise 2:
+
+-- The raw dataset contains repeated customer, flight, and aircraft information.
+-- To normalize the data to 3NF, it is decomposed into the following tables:

+-- Customer Name -> Customer Status, Total Customer Mileage
+-- Aircraft -> Total Aircraft Seats
+-- Flight Number -> Aircraft, Flight Mileage
+
+-- 3NF Decomposition:
