Book Description

The Northwind database is a sample database, consisting 13 tables, that was originally created by Microsoft and used as the basis for their tutorials in a variety of database products for decades. The Northwind database contains the sales data for a fictitious company called “Northwind Traders,” which imports and exports specialty foods from around the world. The Northwind database is an excellent tutorial schema for a small-business ERP, with customers, orders, inventory, purchasing, suppliers, shipping, employees, and single-entry accounting. The Northwind database has since been ported to a variety of non-Microsoft databases, including MySQL. The Northwind dataset includes sample data for the following: Suppliers: Suppliers and vendors of Northwind; Customers: Customers who buy products from Northwind; Employees: Employee details of Northwind traders; Products: Product information; Shippers: The details of the shippers who ship the products from the traders to the end-customers; Orders and Order_Details: Sales Order transactions taking place between the customers & the company. In this book, as part 1, you will develop step by step tutorial object-oriented programming and Java GUI using NetBeans IDE to implement the four employee-related tables in Northwind database: region, territories, employees, and employeeterritories.
