I'll have to side with Patrick here. 3NF is a simple progression on from
2NF and is generally designed in by simply building your table structures
to eliminate attribues that depend on stuff other than the primary key. It
normal thing to do once you have built tables for a while.

I suspect that Neven was thinking Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF) or the
even more horrific Forth Normal Form (4NF) that will turn your data into
spagetti and your queries into pages of unreadable joins 8-)

Cheers, Max.
