The store sells many kinds of animals and breeds, including some exotic species which require the purchaser to have a special licence. If needed, the customer's license number will be collected along with the financial details when he places and order. the licence number is 2 digit number followed by four letters. The law requries the store to produce a list of all exotic species sold during the last month.
The Society of Animal Welfare requires all pet shops to provide a weekly report detailing the health condition of all pets under their care. Pet shops are subject to random inspections and face a large fine if they cannot produce this report. Becuase of this, eah individual animal needs to be tracked. Pets are supplied by a variety of different companies. Ussually one company supplies multiple types of animals. The store uses several queries to check on its business. Each week the manager checks to see the sales for the past week. Occasionally he also checks the sales from the past six months. In the future, he would like to have these same reports group the sales by species of animal.
