It bothers me that we don't use a single example between the articles 1NF to 4NF, thus allowing people to really see the progressive differences. But that's not too bad.

What really bothers me is that the example in this article goes from 1NF to 3NF and the 3NF article starts at 1NF and goes to 3NF. This really makes the 2NF-3NF distinction hard to grasp. All we need to do to fix this article's example is add a column, right? -- General Wesc 02:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

What does "irreducibly" mean in that sentence? It doesn't make sense to me.--80.227.100.62 07:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the examples don't make clear what the difference is between 2NF and 3NF (and since I came here to try and find out for myself, I'm not really qualified to try and fix the examples).
