Basic Concept
A database is a collection of data, which is organized into files called tables. These tables
provide a systematic way of accessing, managing, and updating data. A relational database
is one that contains multiple tables of data that relate to each other through special key fields.
Relational databases are far more flexible (though harder to design and maintain) than what
are known as flat file databases, which contain a single table of data
DBMS
Database Management System (DBMS) is
a software for storing and retrieving users'
data while considering appropriate security
measures. It consists of a group of programs
which manipulate the database. The DBMS
accepts the request for data from an
application and instructs the operating
system to provide the specific data. In large
systems, a DBMS helps users and other
third-party software to store and retrieve
data.

NORMALIZATION
NORMALIZATION is a database design technique that reduces data redundancy and
eliminates undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anomalies.
Normalization rules divides larger tables into smaller tables and links them using
relationships. The purpose of Normalization in SQL is to eliminate redundant
(repetitive) data and ensure data is stored logically.
