Building the physical data model
After creating all the entities and their respective attributes, the final step to completing the physical model is creating the relationships linking them.
In an e-commerce system, there are three essential entities: customers, products, and orders. And the relationship cardinality is: One customer generates many orders, and one order can contain many products.
You have previously created all the entities, and now it is time to create the relationships that link the orders table to customers and products as needed based on the cardinality described in the design of the physical model.
