Sql Database Normalization in Sql

1NF (First Normal Form): Each column contains atomic (indivisible) values; no repeating groups.

2NF (Second Normal Form): In 1NF + all non-key columns depend on the entire primary key (eliminate partial dependencies).

3NF (Third Normal Form): In 2NF + non-key columns depend only on the primary key (eliminate transitive dependencies).

Over-normalization can reduce performance; denormalization trades consistency for speed in read-heavy systems.

Normalize for write-heavy workloads; denormalize for read-heavy analytics.
