Description:

Introduction

This is meant to be a very brief tutorial aimed at beginners who want to get a conceptual grasp on the database normalization process. I find it very difficult to visualize these concepts using words alone, so I shall rely as much as possible upon pictures and diagrams.

To demonstrate the main principles involved, we will take the classic example of an Invoice and level it to the Third Normal Form. We will also construct an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) of the database as we go.

 


Keywords:
2nf, 1nf, third normal form, first normal form, normalization, second normal form, database, 3nf
