Chapter 2 Exercise 6

6. A start-up company is assembling customized stereo ear-buds. Instead of shipping dozens of different sizes and shapes of in-ear pieces, the company distributes a clear piece of plastic with various marks. Customers hold the piece on their ear and take a photograph. A system at the company reads the markings and determines the best ear-piece for each customer. The assembly team then builds the custom ear-buds for the customer allowing them to set additional specifications including colors, logos, number of “armatures” or speaker cones, and control switches for android or Apple devices. The company needs a database to track orders, assembly, and shipping.

This exercise is in the Database Design system.
