Database Normalization

Organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve integrity.

Benefits of Normalization

Better data organization, easier management, and improved consistency.

First Normal Form (1NF)

First Normal Form focuses on eliminating repeating groups of data.

Second Normal Form (2NF)

Second Normal Form builds on 1NF and ensures that each non-key attribute is fully functionally dependent on the primary key.
