Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general goal of normalization is to construct tables such that every table has a single topic. This ensures that each attribute in a table only depends on the primary key, eliminates redundancy, and avoids data anomalies. Establishing relationships among entities in a table is a part of normalization, but not the general goal. Creating a copy of an existing table or converting two or more tables into a single table are not part of normalization.
