Q1) What steps/tasks are required to convert unnormalized data to third normal form (3NF)?

Answer: Any repeating groups are eliminated from the unnormalized data and a primary key is identified to put the data in first normal form. If the primary key is a composite primary key, then any partial dependencies must also be eliminated to convert the data to second normal form. Once the data is in second normal form, any transitive dependencies are eliminated and the data is then in third normal form.
