HW-6

Chapter 9 Parallel Project:

Using PHPMyAdmin create the 3 (maybe 4) tables (if you didn't do this already)

  • Customer
  • Product
  • Order
  • Line-item (possible 4th, this allows more then one item purchased per order)

Answers questions 1 through 6. Remember not to make it to big, no way near as big as the author's. I'm thinking 3 or 4 tables max.

Make me a simple web page with a screen shot of your E-R diagram from PhP MyAdmin.


Sample Tables (for example only, yours will probably differ):

  • Each table should have its own ID as primary key
  • Customer Table:
    • Customer ID
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • e-mail
    • Address
  • Products Table
    • Product ID
    • Price
    • Quantity In Stock
    • Description (memo)
  • Order Table
    • Transaction ID
    • Customer ID
    • Product ID
    • Quantity
