what is the difference between first normal form & second
normal form?

Answer Posted / aysh

First normal form (1NF or Minimal Form) is a normal form
used in database normalization. A relational database table
that adheres to 1NF is one that is free of repeating
groups.Second normal form (2NF) is a normal form used in
database normalization,where a table that is in first
normal form (1NF) must meet additional criteria if it is to
qualify for second normal form. Specifically:a 1NF table is
in 2NF if and only if none of its non-prime attributes are
functionally dependent on a part (proper subset) of a
candidate key. (A non-prime attribute is one that does not
belong to any candidate key.)
