Denormalization

Denormalization is a way of making it easier to access information from a database. In a database, everything is stored in separate tables (think of them as like libraries where information is organized in different categories), and to get exactly the information you need, you have to search through all the tables. Denormalization makes it so that you don't need to go looking through all the tables, instead, all the information is organized in one big table, like one room with all the information you need in it.
