Let's walk through a simple example of a project involving a database for


an online bookstore. We'll go through the steps outlined earlier.
Step 1: Project Conceptualization
 Project Scope: Create a database for an online bookstore to
manage books, authors, customers, and orders.
 Objectives: Allow customers to browse and purchase books, track
inventory, and manage orders.
Step 2: Identify Relationships
 Entities: Book, Author, Customer, Order
 Relationships:
 One Author can write Many Books (One-to-Many)
 One Customer can place Many Orders (One-to-Many)
 One Order can contain Many Books (Many-to-Many)
Step 3: Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD)
Step 4: Attributes and Data Types
 Book: book_id (PK), title, price, ISBN, publication_year
 Author: author_id (PK), name, birth_date, country
 Customer: customer_id (PK), name, email, address
 Order: order_id (PK), customer_id (FK), order_date
 Book_Order: book_id (FK), order_id (FK), quantity

Step 5: Primary and Foreign Keys


 Primary keys are underlined (PK), and foreign keys (FK) establish
relationships between tables.
Step 6: Creating Tables (SQL Example)
CREATE TABLE Author (
author_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
birth_date DATE,
country VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE Book (


book_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(200),
price DECIMAL(10, 2),
ISBN VARCHAR(20),
publication_year YEAR,
author_id INT,
FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES Author(author_id)
);

CREATE TABLE Customer (


customer_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
email VARCHAR(100),
address VARCHAR(200)
);

CREATE TABLE Order (


order_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT,
order_date DATE,
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES Customer(customer_id)
);

CREATE TABLE Book_Order (


book_id INT,
order_id INT,
quantity INT,
PRIMARY KEY (book_id, order_id),
FOREIGN KEY (book_id) REFERENCES Book(book_id),
FOREIGN KEY (order_id) REFERENCES Order(order_id)
);

Step 7: Implementing Relationships


 The author_id in the Book table establishes a one-to-many
relationship with the Author table.
 The customer_id in the Order table establishes a one-to-many
relationship with the Customer table.
 The book_id and order_id in the Book_Order table create a many-
to-many relationship.
