Creating an entity
As you've progressed from the conceptual to the logical stages of data modeling, you've learned to define the structures representing real-world entities and their connections. Now, it's time to put the knowledge into practice.
In the e-commerce system, logical model included three essential tables: customers, products, and orders. These tables are designed to mirror the real interactions within a business context: customers generate orders, and orders contain products. Previously, you learned to create products, now it is time to define the customers table.
