Normal Forms in DBMS ?

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.

Normalization is a process of breaking down the relations with a less attributes.
Process of arranging the data in the database is called Normalization.
To reduce the repetition from a relation or from a set of relations, normalization is used.
It is used for removing undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anamolies.
Normalization divides larger table into smaller by linking them using relationships.
To reduce the repetition from a database table, normal forms are used.
For removing anamolies from relations, we use normalization.
If the anamolies are not eliminated, it may lead to data repetition, and it can also cause data integrity and other problems when the data base grows.
For creating a good database certain rules and regulations are set in normalization.
