Practice
A job centre stores details about the jobs that are currently on offer. This information
includes: a unique job number, the company the job is with, whether it is part or full time,
the yearly salary.
Define a single-table database for the job centre by identifying the fields, data types,
and primary key.
Challenge
Some databases need more than one table. Databases can also be set up to link tables
together, so if you look at the data in one table it will align with the data in the other table.
This is called a relationship.
Find an example where a database has more than one table, and where the tables are
joined with a relationship. Identify the key components of the database tables, and how the
relationship is set up between them.
