Hi All, good day! I just want to ask from someone who have experienced in Database Management.

As a database designer or manager, which would you prefer doing, normalization or denormalization of database? Why?

Any ideas are much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

For Elasticsearch, denormalization is the key.

Have a look at [Does document database means denormalize - #3 by Jilles\_van\_Gurp](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/does-document-database-means-denormalize/18075/3)
