Sample Columns:

Table Name: Orders

Sample Columns:

• OrderID: Unique identifier for each order (Primary Key)
• CustomerID: Foreign key referencing the Customer table
• RestaurantID: Foreign key referencing the Restaurant table
• TotalPrice: Total price of the order
• OrderStatus: Current status of the order (Pending, Preparing, Delivered)

Additional Guidelines:

• Ensure every table has a primary key.

• Include important columns relevant to the business scenario (e.g., for deliveries, include columns like DeliveryDriverID, EstimatedArrivalTime, and DeliveryStatus).

Final Notes:

We recommend that you define the necessary tables and columns, along with sample data, using tools like Google Sheets or any relational database design tool.

Students enrolled in our online Zoom class will receive guidance throughout this assignment, and their progress will be manually reviewed incrementally until they reach a certain level of completion.

As a beginner, it is recommended that you complete the table and column listings for 50-75% of the functionalities mentioned above. Completing listings for 100% of the functionalities is a real BONUS.
