In simple terms, normalization prioritizes data integrity and efficient storage, while denormalization prioritizes faster data retrieval. In real-world systems, both approaches can be used together depending on the application's workload and performance requirements.

This is the most concise and accurate definition of database normalization

Normalization
Normalization is the process of organizing the fields and tables of a database to minimize redundancy and dependency by dividing large tables into smaller, related tables.
Denormalization
Denormalization is the process of combining tables to reduce the complexity of data retrieval, essentially the opposite of normalization.
