First normal form (1NF) is the first basic steps for normalization for relational database:

- There should be separate tables for each group of related data and identify each row with a unique column or set of columns (the primary key).

Normalization is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. There are two goals of the normalization process: eliminating redundant data (for example, storing the same data in more than one table) and ensuring data dependencies make sense (only storing related data in a table). Both of these are worthy goals as they reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensure that data is logically stored.
