Requirements

Create a database from scratch that contains, at a minimum, the elements listed below. The type of database you create is up to you. However, I highly encourage you to build a "real-world" application where you create a database for work, school, or your own use using real data. For example, you might use sales, wage, inventory, or other data from work, incorporate a project from another class, or build an application to use for school.

A brief paragraph or two describing the purpose of your database an its functionality, plus a detailed E-R diagram.
