normalization?

[S.Hoitinga]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a definition of normalization of a database.
People have asked this many a time and the only answer I can think of "place
your data in the right field in the right table".
Maybe there are better definitions, 'cause mine looks like *** to me.

Here is a nice tutorial on it:
