Review Summary
Your solution is approved because the SQL script correctly normalizes the ShopDB schema to 3NF, creates the necessary tables (Countries, Products, Warehouses, Inventory) with appropriate primary and foreign keys, and repopulates them with data equivalent to the original sample set. The database lifecycle is handled properly with DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS ShopDB; followed by CREATE DATABASE ShopDB;, so the script can be safely rerun and still produce the expected state.
There are no critical or blocking issues that would prevent the task from being considered complete, but there are a few areas you could improve for robustness:
- Make primary key columns explicitly
NOT NULLand consider usingAUTO_INCREMENTfor integer IDs in tables likeCountries,Products, andWarehouses. - Decide on and specify
ON DELETE/ON UPDATEactions for foreign keys inInventoryto reflect the intended business rules (for example,ON DELETE CASCADEorON DELETE RESTRICT). - Consider marking essential non-key columns such as
ProductName,WarehouseName, andWarehouseAddressasNOT NULL, and optionally setENGINE=InnoDBandDEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4on your tables. - You may also want to fix minor cosmetic issues such as the
AwersomeProducttypo and think about adding indexes on frequently queried columns for performance.
Overall, this is solid work that meets the task requirements, and these suggestions are about strengthening data integrity and maintainability going forward.
