Normalisation (Normal Forms)
A satanic ritual carried out by database designers. A group of them assemble, draw a pentangle on the floor, light candles and sacrifice a goat. They then invoke the five demons of Thoth, or the “five normal forms” as they are sometimes called. At the end of the ritual a database design manifests from the netherworld. The full details of how this is done is a closely guarded secret, understood only by a few database masters and revealed only to initiates. I daren’t say more.
