Case 2: Databases
Create a DB based on the
following:
A pet store lets
customers choose and pay for their pets via their web site. Customers pay using
either a credit card or a PayPal account. A Paypal account number starts with
PP and is follow by a maximum of 12 numbers. For credit cards, only Visa and
MasterCard are accepted. Cash is not accepted. 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.
