data normalization

[mccartmd]

Hi:
Looking to learn normalization . . ."more better"
and wondering if anyone has a "good" recommedation
of any particualar book or web site whereby
I can 'teach' myself. . .or maybe . . .
a software package you could recommend and I could buy.
What I got is 43 memo field chapters of 67k lines and 340k words and would like to bust them down to shd be less than a 100 items in relational tables. . .Any feedback is appreciated.
