Database Information for Businesses

An order entry system for a business, for example, will consist of many tables:

• an orders table to track each order
• an orders detail table for tracking each item in an order
• a customer table so you can see who made the order and who to bill
• an inventory table showing the goods you have on hand
• a suppliers table, so you can see who you need to re-order your stock from
