Explain what normalization is, including the goal of normalization


Normalization is a progression in which a table that is in first normal form is better (freer from problems) than a table that is not in first normal form, a table that is in second normal form is better than one that is in first normal form, and so on. The goal of normalization is to take a table or collection of tables and produce a new collection of tables that represents the same information but that is free of update anomalies.
