- Relation is a two-dimensional table in which data is named. The relations have the named columns and numbers which denote the unnamed rows.
- Although relation is defined as the two-dimensional table of data, not all the tables are considered as relations.
- There are some properties that differentiate relation tables from non-relation tables.

Normalization is the process of applying a series of rules to ensure that your database achieves optimal structure. Normal forms are a progression of these rules. Each successive normal form achieves a better database design than the previous form did. Based on your understanding for the various normal form respond to the following problems and provide the optimal answer/solution.
