What is the main goal of the database normalization process?

The main goal of the database normalization process is to eliminate data redundancy and ensure data integrity. This is achieved by dividing tables into smaller, related tables through keys, in order to:

• Eliminate duplicate information.
• Minimize anomalies during data insertion, updating, and deletion.
• Provide a logical data structure that is easy to maintain and scale.

For example, instead of storing information about clients and their orders in one table, the data is split into a clients table and an orders table, linked by the client identifier.
