Boyce-Codd normal form, commonly abbreviated as BCNF, is a database normalization algorithm that ensures data integrity by eliminating redundancy. BCNF can be synonymously referred to as third normal form or 3NF, as it is a further development of the 2NF algorithm. Another synonym for BCNF is "good" or "clean" design, as it ensures that each relation in a database contains a unique set of attributes that depend solely on the primary key. BCNF can also be referred to as "lossless decomposition," as it does not produce data loss during the normalization process. Lastly, BCNF can be identified as the "ultimate" normalization form, as it eliminates all possible anomalies in the database.
