Normalizatiin is the scientific method of breaking down
complex table sturcture into simple table structure by
using certain rules.using this method you can reduce
redundency in a table and eliminate the problem of
inconsisteny and disk space usage.

First Normal Form(1NF):
a table is said to be in first normal form when each
cell of the table prcisely contain one value.

Second Normal Form (2NF):
a table is said to be in second normal form when it is
in 1NF and every attribute in the row in functionaly
dependent upon whole key and not just a part of key.
Third Normal Form (3NF):
a table is said to be in second normal form when it is 2NF
and every non key attribute is functionaly dependent only
on the primary key.
