Understanding First

Normal Form (1NF)


Introduction to database normalization, a foundational principle in
database design, eliminates repeating groups of data to improve
integrity and efficiency.

by Om
Defining First Normal
Form (1NF)
1 Core Concept
Each column must contain only atomic values.

2 Atomic Value
Cannot be further subdivided, e.g., "John Doe."

3 No Repeating Groups
No repeating columns within a table.

4 Single Value
Each attribute contains a single value.
Key Rules of 1NF
Eliminate Repeating Groups
Remove columns that repeat data.

Atomic Values
Ensure each column contains indivisible values.

Primary Key
Table needs a primary key to identify each row.
Examples: Before and After 1NF
Before 1NF After 1NF
Benefits of 1NF and Conclusion
Reduced Redundancy
Less duplicated data.

Improved Integrity
Consistent and reliable data.

Simplified Querying
Easier data retrieval.

Easier Maintenance
Streamlined updates.
