1. Types of Databases and Their Features


Hierarchical Databases
Data is stored in a tree structure (parent-child). Example: IBM IMS.
Network Databases
Data is connected through multiple relationships. Example: IDS.
Relational Databases (RDBMS)
Data is stored in tables (SQL). Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL.
Object-Oriented Databases
Data is represented as objects. Example: db4o.
Document-Oriented (NoSQL) Databases
Data is stored in JSON format. Example: MongoDB.
Graph Databases
Data is stored as nodes and relationships. Example: Neo4j.

phone VARCHAR(20) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE,
address TEXT
);

-- Products Table (Cakes and Pastries)


CREATE TABLE products (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
description TEXT,
price DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL CHECK (price > 0),
stock INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 CHECK (stock >= 0)
);

-- Orders Table
CREATE TABLE orders (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT NOT NULL,
order_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'New',
total_price DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL CHECK (total_price >= 0),
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);

-- Order Items Table (What products are in an order)


CREATE TABLE order_items (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
order_id INT NOT NULL,
product_id INT NOT NULL,
quantity INT NOT NULL CHECK (quantity > 0),
price DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL CHECK (price > 0),
FOREIGN KEY (order_id) REFERENCES orders(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
