3NFstä

3NFstä is a German term that translates to "3NF-ready" or "ready for 3NF". It refers to a database schema that has been designed or modified to comply with the Third Normal Form (3NF). In database normalization, 3NF is a rule that ensures data redundancy is minimized and data integrity is maintained. Achieving 3NF involves eliminating transitive dependencies, meaning that all non-key attributes must depend directly on the primary key, and not on other non-key attributes.

When a database schema is described as 3NFstä, it signifies that it has undergone the process of normalization up to this level. This is generally considered a good standard for relational databases as it balances data integrity with performance. It means that tables are structured in a way that avoids anomalies when inserting, updating, or deleting data. The term is often used in discussions about database design, data modeling, and system development, particularly in German-speaking contexts. It implies that the underlying structure of the data is robust and well-organized according to established relational database principles.
