Applying specific rules (normal forms) to the database is the primary process. These rules should be applied in the order specified starting with the first normal form.

It's a process of redunduncy of the duplicate columans.In this we have 5normal forms but last two are used in academics. The first normal form(1NF) involves removal of redundant data from horizontal rows. we want to ensure that there is no duplicate data in the given row.and that every column stors least amonut of data. In the 2NF deals with redunduncy of data in vertical columns. so to achieve second NF your tables must be in 1NF. In the 3NF we are looking for the data in our tables that is not fully dependent on the primary key,but depedent on another value in the table.
