What is normalization

Defination : Normalization is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. There are two goals of the normalization process: eliminating redundant data (for example, storing the same data in more than one table) and ensuring data dependencies make sense (only storing related data in a table). Both of these are worthy goals as they reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensure that data is logically stored. There are several benefits for using Normalization in Database.
Benefits :
Eliminate data redundancy
Improve performance
Query optimization
Faster update due to less number of columns in one table
Index improvement
