What exactly do you mean? I consulted the oracle, google, and came up with a bunch of stuff. None of it had to do with computer science.

If no one really knows this concept, I will research it myself so that others along with me can get an understanding of this very important and fundamental idea of CS

Simply read through
Database System Concepts
By Korth,Silberchatz and Sudarshan

It may not be as comprehensive as u may desire but its sufficient. You may also google for "Normalization lecture notes" , this will throw abundance of lecture notes that are available online. Ofcourse they all say the same thing in different ways so just find out which one suits u better.

Essentially, normalization involves removing redundant data from a database. The lower normalized forms have all redundant data, while the higher forms have little or none.

Most database books should cover this if they cover design issues.
