Databases are the storehouses of data used in the software systems. The data is stored in tables inside the database. The online shopping system database will store information about products, customers, orders, and payments. The database will be designed to support the various functionalities of the online shopping system, such as browsing products, placing orders, and managing payments. This is a web-based application that allows customers to browse and purchase products from an e-commerce website. This system can be implemented in any local or multinational shop. The services will be provided 24 * 7.
