Normalization-non programming question

Question

I am trying to normalize this into 3NF before I can program in jsp and using jdbc with databases.
Here is what I need to normalize.
0NF:
Computer (Packid, packname, serial_no, comp_id, emp_num, emp_name, install_date, version_no, comp_name, software_name, hire_date, processor_type)
packid is the identification of the software package, e.g. WP08, DB01
packname is the name of the software package, WordPerfect
serial_no is the serial number that uniquely defines a PC
comp_id is a code describing the type of PC, e.g. B121 is a Packard Bell model with CD-ROM and 486DX-66 processor
emp_num is unique employee number
emp_name is employee�s name
install_date is the date which s/w was installed on a machine
version_no is the version number of the software
comp_name is the name of the computer manufacturer
software_name is the name of the software manufacturer
hire_date is the date which the employee was hired
processor_type is the type of processor in the PC
Assumptions:
- A PC belongs to one employee. However, an employee may have more than one PC in their office.
- A PC can have many s/w packages loaded on it.
PK=primary key FK (foreign key)
THis is what I have
1NF
Computer (packname,comp_name, comp_id(PK) processor_type)
Software(Packid (PK), serial_no, comp_id (FK),install_date,version_no,software_name)
Employer(emp_num (PK), emp_name,hire_date)
2NF
Computer (packname,comp_name, comp_id(PK) processor_type)
Software(Packid (PK), serial_no, comp_id (FK),install_date,version_no,software_name)
Employer(emp_num (PK), comp_id(FK),emp_name,hire_date)
3NF
Computer (packname,comp_name, comp_id(PK) processor_type)
Package(PAckid(PK),serial_no(FK),softare_name)
Software(serial_no(PK), comp_id (FK),install_date,version_no,software_name)
Employer(emp_num (PK), comp_id(FK),emp_name,hire_date)
Is this correct the way i am doing it.

Answer 1

See Java Database Development, by me, chapter 11. The book's JDK 1.0, so go to the library, don't buy it. Chapter 11 shows a radically simpler approach to DB design that is mathematically proven to generate better than 4NF designs. I think it goes to 5NF, but I've not been able to prove it.
Guaranteed to give 3NF and you won't break an intellectual sweat to get there. Simple to prove that you'll get Boyce-Codd NF which someone way smarter than me proved was also 3NF.
