Create the database

You will need to create a database to store your data. Use MySQL to create the database schema, tables, and relationships between them. Hibernate can be used to connect your Java code to the database.

Relationships:

Products are supplied by one or more suppliers, and a supplier can supply multiple products. This is a many-to-many relationship, so we need a junction table (ProductSupplier) to represent it.

• ProductSupplier
• ProductID (Foreign Key)
• SupplierID (Foreign Key)

An order is placed by one customer and can contain one or more products. A product can be included in one or more orders. This is a many-to-many relationship, so we need a junction table (OrderProduct) to represent it.

• OrderProduct
• OrderID (Foreign Key)
• ProductID (Foreign Key)
• Quantity

An order is shipped from one location, and a location can ship many orders. This is a one-to-many relationship, so we can represent it by adding a foreign key (LocationID) to the Orders table.

• Orders
• OrderID (Primary Key)
• OrderDate
• CustomerID (Foreign Key)
• LocationID (Foreign Key)

This database design allows you to track inventory levels, supplier information, customer information, order details, and location information in a structured and efficient way. It also allows for easy querying and reporting of data, making it easier to manage and optimize your inventory management processes.
