Im taking a summer class in database management. The teacher, to say the least, isn't very helpful. Generally you read the book, and teach yourself. I'm having problems normalizing my data. If anyone is willing to help, I can email them my excel document with my raw data list and the rest of the work I've done.

What do you mean by "normalizing?"

Life's more painless for the brainless.

First normal form (remove repeating groups), Second normal form (remove inter-data dependencies), and third normal form.

Okay. I think I understand.

Two sites with interesting perspectives:

http://databases.about.com/od/speci...

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
