What is Normalization ?

Answer Posted / sachin

Normalization is a method of break down complex table’s
structure into simple table structure by using certain
rules. Normalization usually involves dividing a database
into two or more tables and defining relationships between
the tables. The objective of Normalization is to isolate
data so that additions, deletions, and modifications of a
field can be made in just one table and then propagated
through the rest of the database via the defined
relationships. With the help of this method we can reduce
redundancy in a table and remove the problems of
inconsistency and reduce the amount of space.
