Data Normalization
Data normalization is an important step in any database development process. Through this tedious process a developer can eliminate duplication and develop standards by which all data can be measured. This paper addresses the history and function of data normalization as it applies to the course at hand.
In 1970, Dr. E.F. Codd's seminal paper "A Relational Model for Large Shared Databanks" was published in Communications of the ACM. This paper introduced the topic of …showed first 75 words of 777 total…

Despite the complex notion of database normalization, the application of it is virtually essential to any development undertaking.
