Normalization:

bulletThe relational model requires that all of the information be stored in two-dimensional tables.
bulletThe columns are called attributes, or fields.  These are the names of the general categories of information that will be stored.  Each fieldname within an individual table must be unique.  The individual items stored in the fields can repeat.
bulletThe rows are called tuples.  The rows are where the actual "information" or data items get stored.  Each row in a table must be unique.
bulletMake sure that you always name your tables.

 

Table Name

First Normal Form (1NF)
