The problems for this chapter use a database for a simple
department store that sells items to customers and wants to keep
track of the invoices, the selling price (if an item is on sale),
and the sales tax (7%) to be collected on some items. Every
customer and invoice are assigned unique numbers. All items
have a Universal Product Code (UPC) number and bar-code
assigned to each unique item. Food and non-carbonated
beverages are not taxed, but clothing, home goods, and most
other items are.
The structure of the tables are described in the following crows

The problems for this chapter use a database for a simple

43. department store that sells items to customers and wants to keep
track of the invoices, the selling price (if an item is on sale),
and the sales tax (7%) to be collected on some items. Every
customer and invoice are assigned unique numbers. All items
have a Universal Product Code (UPC) number and bar-code
assigned to each unique item. Food and non-carbonated
beverages are not taxed, but clothing, home goods, and most
other items are.
The structure of the tables are described in the following crows
foot ERD:
Sample Data for the tables follow:
Customer
Customer_Id
Customer_
