A few questions for people designing databases.  Do you normalize your
databases?  If you do normalize, do you do so by hand, or with an
automated tool?  How far do you take it - 3rd, 4th, or 5th normal form?
Do you think it was worth the effort?  What DBMS do you use?

If you don't normalize, why not?  Too difficult, or you don't think it's
worth doing?

Just curious if people normalize and if they think it's worth it...
