Application: Creating and Populating a Database
Suppose you have a small retail store and decide to create a database to track sales. You have information about recent sales that you want to use for testing the database. View all or part of the MySQL tutorial on Lynda.com to learn how to install and create a database in MySQL. If necessary, install MySQL on your computer. Then, create the tables for tracking the sales in the database shown below. Include all the constraints you consider necessary to maintain the integrity of the database. Then, for each named table, insert the listed data.
