  "description": "Database normalization reduces data redundancy and anomalies by organizing data into well-structured tables. Normal forms: 1NF (atomic values), 2NF (no partial dependencies), 3NF (no transitive dependencies), BCNF (every determinant is a candidate key). Most databases target 3NF — enough to eliminate most anomalies while remaining practical.",
