In what normal form is a table that includes only one field? For example, a table that stores states.
thanks!

Unless it (a table) has any link or foreign key relation to another, normally ORACLE stores the values in tabular form of columns. It is Relational database, enables you use it relationally, but if you store your data just normal, then it stores in simple normal form. The real relational comes into picture, when it has foreign keys, merged (joined) with others or some thing else that is relational. Otherwise it is just simple database. Hope you understand my point.
Good luck :)
