Step 4: defining the database schema

The VMart database installs with sample scripts with SQL commands that are intended to represent queries that might be used in a real business. The vmart_define_schema.sql script runs a script that defines the VMart schema and creates tables. You must run this script before you load data into the VMart database.

This script performs the following tasks:

• Defines two schemas in the VMart database schema: online_sales and store.

• Defines tables in both schemas.

• Defines constraints on those tables.
