Normalization: Streamlining Your Data

Understanding Database Normalization 📊

Normalization is a technique used in database design to minimize redundancy and improve data integrity. It’s like organizing your files in a systematic way to avoid confusion and errors.

Why Normalize Your Database?

• Reduces Data Redundancy: Prevents unnecessary duplication.
• Enhances Data Integrity: Ensures accuracy and consistency.
• Improves Query Performance: Simplifies complex queries.

Normalization Stages:

1. First Normal Form (1NF): Ensure all columns contain atomic values.
2. Second Normal Form (2NF): Ensure all non-key attributes are fully dependent on the primary key.
3. Third Normal Form (3NF): Remove transitive dependencies.

Tips for Effective Normalization:

• Understand Your Data: Know what you need before normalizing.
• Avoid Over-Normalization: Balance between normalization and performance.
