What is normalazation,types with examples. with queries of all types?




definition :1) normalization is organizing data in database.


2) Normalization is a process of eleminating the redundancy and increasing the integrity.

There are 5 normal forms. It is necessary for any database to be in the third normal form to maintain referential integrity and non-redundance.

First Normal Form:

 Every field of a table (row,col) must contain an atomic value

Second Normal Form:

All columns of a table must depend entirely on the primary key column.

Third Normal Form:

All columns of a table must depend on all columns of a composite primary key.

Fourth Normal Form:

A table must not contain two or more independent multi-valued facts. This normal form is often avoided for maintenance reasons.

Fifth Normal Form:

is about symmetric dependencies.
Each normal form assumes that the table is already in the earlier normal form.
