Database Normalization is the formal process of structuring relational schemas to reduce redundancy and avoid update, insert, and delete anomalies. It is governed by Codd's normal forms (1NF through 6NF) and the Boyce-Codd Normal Form, and is the foundation of relational design, taught in academic curricula and applied across all major SQL databases.
