Scenario: Painting Hire Business


Problem Description:

A local businesswoman has decided to start her own Internet business, called Masterpieces Ltd,
hiring paintings to private individuals and commercial companies. Because of your reputation as
a database designer, she has called upon your services to design and implement a database to
support her new business. At the initial planning meeting, to discuss the design, the following
user requirements were requested.

The system must be able to manage the details of customers, paintings and those paintings
currently on hire to customers. Customers are categorized as bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
These categories entitle a customer to a discount of 0%, 5%, 10% or 15% respectively.

Customers often request paintings by a particular artist or theme (e.g., animal, landscape,
seascape, sunset, still‐life, etc). Over time a customer may hire the same painting more than
once.

Each painting is allocated to a customer on monthly rental price defined by the owner. Any
paintings that are not hired within six months are returned to the owner. Each painting can only
have one artist associated with it.

Enter 10 dummy entries for each table at least to make appropriate queries.
