1. First Normal Form (1NF): Each attribute of a table must have atomic (single)
values only then we can say that the table is in 1NF.
2. Second Normal Form. It should be in 1NF. ...
3. Third Normal Form : It should be in 2NF. ...
4. BCNF (Boyce and Codd Normal Form ): Also known as a special form of 3NF
as BCNF puts a restriction on 3NF. ...
Define the data items required, because they become the columns in a table. Place the related data
items in a table. Ensure that there are no repeating groups of data. Ensure that there is a primary
key. First Rule of 1NF. You must define the data items.
