Solution To Normalization Assignment

The document provides a hospital staff rotation table that needs to be normalized. It contains staff information like name, address, contact details, position, assigned ward, and shift. The assistant normalized the table into third normal form through three steps. First, it was normalized into first normal form by removing repeating columns like ward name and location. Second, it was normalized into second normal form by splitting the table based on attributes like staff, ward, and their relationship. Finally, it was normalized into third normal form by removing all transitive dependencies between attributes.
