Introduction

Database normalization is the process of structuring a database, in accordance with a series of normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve integrity.

In other words, database normalization is basically breaking a table into two to prevent repetitive columns aka data redundancy. It entails organizing the columns (attributes) and tables (relations) of a database to ensure that their dependencies are properly enforced by database integrity constraints. It is accomplished by applying some formal rules either by a process of synthesis (creating a new database design) or decomposition (improving an existing database design).

Why use BoltDB

Bolt plays pretty well with Go’s concurrency model, we can do multiple reads concurrently.

For pro and cons, I will contrast it with similar database SQLite. I have done SQLite when I worked with Xentrix to develop GUI tools for the artists.

It is native go.

This means you don’t need any database server running, like SQLite. In oppose to Redis and memcached.
