The stores_demo Database Map

Some of the tables in the stores_demo database have relationships between them.

The following illustration displays the joins in the stores_demo database between customers, catalog orders, and customer calls. The shading that connects a column in one table to a column with the same name in another table indicates the relationships, or joins, between tables.
