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.
