What is normalization? Explain different forms of normalization?

Answer Posted / Santosh Kumar

Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to minimize redundancy and dependency. It helps ensure that each piece of information is stored only once, making databases more efficient, easy to manage, and less prone to errors. There are three main forms of normalization: First Normal Form (1NF), Second Normal Form (2NF), and Third Normal Form (3NF).
