Quiz questions on different normal forms, multivalued dependencies and decomposition algorithms, user interfaces and different application programs. Database normalization is a technique that organizes data in a relational database into tables, removing duplicate data, and improving data integrity. It also helps to prevent anomalies like deletion, update, and insertion.  Normalization is a multi-step process that involves: Dividing large tables into smaller tables and Linking the tables using relationships.  The four major types of normal forms are: 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, and BCNF.  Most database...
