As the name indic0ates, denormalization is the reverse process of normalization. It?s the controlled introduction of redundancy in to the database design. It helps improve the query performance as the number of joins could be reduced

de-normalization is the reverse process of normalization. Some times we may want some speedretreival of data more than reducing redundancy .At that time we do the de-normalization and makesome redundancy

Denormalization is a technique to move from higher normal form to lower normal form in order to speed up database access. OR Denormalization is a technique of deriving a physical data model from a logical data model.Time does not play any role in DENORMALIZATION.Denormalization is done when fast retreival is must than redundancy.

when its a large data base and our main constraint is the  cost(time) than we concentrates on fast retriving .so we go for denormalization instade of joing(complex relation calculcus) too many table and be in much complexicity with hign normalization.

Denormalization is the process of attempting to optimize the performance of a DB by adding redundant data or by grouping data. The recommendation is always to use this for teh logical design
