  abstract      = {Originated in Codd's seminal papers, in the 1970's normalization became the first sound theory for relational databases design, although not quite included in the relational data model. Based on functional, multivalued and join dependencies between attributes, theorems of decomposition, inference rules, closure, and normal forms, normalization was supposed to bring rigor and relevance into such a slippery domain as database design. But after more than three decades, normalization has lost its interest in research papers, it is considered too theoretical, rigid and hard to explain, and is still looking for practitioners to apply it effectively. This paper tries to outline some of the the main weaknesses of normalization and to offer some explanations why such a generous framework has failed to become the so much needed universal guide for database designers.}
