A customer is provided with an online shopping basket where the articles to be purchased are placed. As each item is selected the item is placed in the shopping cart. When the customer has completed their shopping the customer is invited to checkout and pay for their items in the shopping basket.

At the checkout the credit card details are verified together with the address the items are to be shipped to. At the end of this process an email is sent to the customer with details of the sale, the shopping cart details are removed.

You must design a database with the above-mentioned specification indicating the necessary keys and relationships. Draw E/R diagrams to arrive at the tables along with their attributes such that the database is in the third normal form.

Summary: Design a relational database that capable of maintaining Customer Details, DVD Details, and Order Details.
