BCNF in DBMS is a higher level of normalization than the third normal form (3NF) and is often known as 3.5NF. It is based on functional dependencies between attributes in a relation. Although, it is very rare that a table satisfies the criteria for 3NF but does not satisfy BCNF. The pr...
Database normalization is the method of restructuring a relational database in accordance with a set of so-called normal forms to minimize data complexity and increase data integrity.Ronald Fagin first defined the fifth normal form in 1979 during a conference in which he presented his research ...

Tables satisfying the higher normal forms (second, third and fourth) necessarily follow first normal form but the reverse is not true. All tables complying with first normal form may not follow the higher normal forms, as the higher normal forms include even more stringent rules....
You can also understand the three cascading normal forms in relation to each other — that normalization proceeds according to these steps. Maybe a system is compliant with first normal form, but not the other two. However, it won't be compliant only with second or third normal form, because...
A relation R is in Third Normal Form (3NF) if and only if the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously: 1. R is already in 2NF 2. No nonprime attribute is transitively dependent on the key. Another way of expressing the conditions for Third Norm
