The document discusses the different normal forms in database normalization, specifically 2nd normal form (2NF), 3rd normal form (3NF), Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF), 4th normal form (4NF), and 5th normal form (5NF). It explains the criteria for each form, including functional dependencies, transitive dependencies, and multivalued dependencies, along with examples of relational schemas and how to normalize them. The document concludes that proper normalization eliminates redundancies and ensures data integrity by adhering to strict criteria across the various normal forms.
