There are 4 types of form in Normalization :

If a relation does not contain any multi valued attributes, then the relation is said to be in First Normal Form.
A relation is said to be in First Normal Form if each attributes contains only single value.
Rule of First normal form states that an attribute of a table cannot have multiple values. It can have only single values.

A table is said to be second normal form on two conditions
Table should be in First Normal Form(1NF).
Any non-prime attribute is not dependent on the proper subset of the candidate key of the table.
Non prime attribute is an attribute which is not a part of any candidate key.

A design of the table is said to be third normal form(3NF) only if
A Table is in second normal form(2NF)
Transitive functional dependency of non-prime attribute on any super key should be removed.
Non prime attribute is an attribute which is not a part of any candidate key.

An advanced version of third normal form is known as Boycee & Codd Normal Forms(BCNF).
BCNF is stricter than third normal form.
A table is said to be in BCNF if it is already in 3NF and every functional dependency should be the super key of the table.

It is a rule where larger tables are divided into smaller tables and they are linked using relationships.
Process of organizing data in a data base is called as Normalization.
The purpose of Normalisation is to eliminate repetitive data and ensure that data is stored logically.
Normalization minimizes redundency from a relation or relation set.
Normalization also helps in minimizing Reuse of data.
Also helps in reduction of insertion, updation and deletion anamolies.
Relation schemas that do not meet the properties are decomposed into small relation schemas so that they can meet the desired properties.
It is a rule where larger tables are divided into smaller tables and they are linked using relationships.
Database table redundancy is reduced by using normal forms.

DBMS is represented by the DataBase Management System. A database management system (DBMS) is a software that allows creation, definition and manipulation of database, allowing users to store, process and analyze data easily.
DBMS provide us with an interface or a tool, to perform various operations like creating database, storing data in it, updating data, creating tables in the database and a lot more.
DBMS also provides protection and security to the databases.
It also maintains data consistency in case of multiple users.
Here are some examples of popular DBMS used these days:
- MySQL
- Oracle
- SQL Server
- IBM DB2
- PostgreSQL
- Amazon Simple DB (cloud based) etc.

What is DBMS

In a Hierarchical database model, the data is organized in a tree-like structure.
Data is Stored Hierarchically (top down or bottom up) format.
Data is represented using a parent-child relationship that are one to one or one to many.
In Hierarchical DBMS parent may have many children, but children have only one parent.

Hierarchical database Model

The network database model allows each child to have multiple parents.
If you need to address the model help us to more complex relationships like as the orders/parts many-to-many relationship.
In this model, the entities are organized in a graph which can be accessed through several paths.

Network Database Model

Relational DBMS is the most widely used DBMS model because it is one of the easiest.
This model is based on normalizing data in the rows and columns of the tables.
Relational model stored in fixed structures and manipulated using SQL.

Relational Databse Model

In Object-oriented Model data stored in the form of objects.
The structure which is called classes which display data within it. It defines a database as a collection of objects which stores both data members values and operations.
