normalize mysql tutorial please...

Question

Is there a good guide for normalizing a mysql db?

I have only knowledge about phpmyadmin...

Thanks

Answer 1

MySQL's intro to normalization article.

There is a bunch of good follow-up links at the bottom of that article as well.

Answer 2

First, keep in mind that 'normalization' is a DBMS agnostic term. Learning how to normalize data on one DBMS is equivalent to normalizing on any (relational) database. This doesn't exactly answer your question, but may help in adding some context to more robust answers.

Answer 3

Here's a good article about Database Normalization Basics which can apply to any database.
