The document discusses normalization in database management systems (DBMS), emphasizing its role in minimizing redundancy and eliminating anomalies such as insertion, update, and deletion issues. It outlines the advantages of normalization, including improved data consistency and flexibility in database design. Additionally, it explains the criteria for First Normal Form (1NF) and Second Normal Form (2NF), focusing on the importance of single-valued attributes and the absence of partial dependencies.

SUBJECT – R.D.B.M.S NORMAL FORMS IN DBMS
Normalization is the process of minimizing
redundancy from a relation or set of relations. Redundancy in relation may cause insertion, deletion, and update anomalies. So, it helps to minimize the redundancy in relations. Normal forms are used to eliminate or reduce redundancy in database tables. MORE ABOUT NORMAL FORMS !
Normalization is the process of organizing the data in the
database. Normalization is used to minimize the redundancy from a relation or set of relations. It is also used to eliminate undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update, and DeletionAnomalies. Normalization divides the larger table into smaller and links them using relationships. The normal form is used to reduce redundancy from the database table. Advantages of Normalisation •Normalization helps to minimize data redundancy. •Greater overall database organization. •Data consistency within the database. •Much more flexible database design. •Enforces the concept of relational integrity. FIRST NORMAL FORMS
1. First Normal Form – If a relation
contain composite or multi-valued attribute, it violates first normal form or a relation is in first normal form if it does not contain any composite or multi-valued attribute. A relation is in first normal form if every attribute in that relation is singled valued Example 1 – Relation STUDENT in table 1 attribute. is not in 1NF because of multi-valued attribute STUD_PHONE. Its decomposition into 1NF has been shown in table 2. SECOND NORMAL FORM
Second Normal Form –
To be in second normal form, a relation must be in first normal form and relation must not contain any partial dependency. A relation is in 2NF if it has No Partial Dependency, i.e., no non- prime attribute (attributes which are not part of any candidate key) is dependent on any proper subset of any candidate key of the table. Partial Dependency – If the proper subset of candidate key determines non-prime attribute, it is called partial dependency.
