In this project you will use the Modeling and Design Tool in MySQL Workbench to design and create a multiple-table relational database. As a DBMS (database management system), MySQL is used by many organizations for managing a variety of types and sizes of databases. MySQL Workbench acts as an integrated development environment allowing users to work with relational databases using a visual user interface rather than the command line. Hands-on activities include using the Modeling and Design Tool to draw a database design diagram, generating the database from that diagram, and then using MySQL Workbench features to load data into the database tables. You will also find an optional Challenge Task and an optional Capstone task for extra practice.
