Selection–data partitioning single-field–from one field to one field
Joining–data combining multi-field–from many fields to one, or
Aggregation–data summarization one field to many

In general–some transformation
function translates data from old
form to new form
Table lookup–another
approach, uses a separate
table keyed by source
record code
1:M–from one
source field to
many target fields
Excellent for ad-hoc queries, but bad for online transaction processing
