What is Normalization ?

Answer Posted / kannan

Defination : Normalization is the process of efficiently
organizing data in a database. There are two goals of the
normalization process: eliminating redundant data (for
example, storing the same data in more than one table) and
ensuring data dependencies make sense (only storing related
data in a table). Both of these are worthy goals as they
reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensure
that data is logically stored. There are several benefits
for using Normalization in Database.

Benefits :

Eliminate data redundancy
Improve performance
Query optimization
Faster update due to less number of columns in one table
Index improvement
