Toys 4 Uis acompanythat specialises intoy hirefor parties, kindergartens andplay groups. Theyalso offer equipment for infants and babies forhire.Toys 4 Ucan own several copies (TOYCOPY) of eachtoy(TOY). For example, astore may have 10 copies of thetoyRocking Horse. In the database,Rocking Horse would be oneTOY, and each copy would be aTOYCOPY. Ahire transaction (HIRE) involves one or morecopiesbeinghired to a member (MEMBERSHIP). Acopycan behiredmany times over its lifetime; therefore, there is an M:N relationship betweenHIRE andTOYCOPY. DETAILHIRE is the bridge table to resolve this relationship.

You will need to normalise all of yourentities,to resolve anymany to many relationships.•Your attributenames, primary and foreign keysshould be indicated as per the conventions given in the lecture slides (i.e. entity/table names in capitals, attributes as proper nouns, primary key underlined and foreign keys in italics).•All many to many relationships should be resolved, and you should include a discussion of normalisation including the normal form that each entity is in and why that is optimal. Also, a discussion of how normalisation was achieved for that entity.2.For each entity, create some example data for that entity. Include 5 rows of data for each entity.3.Write the SQL code to create the table structuresfrom your developed ERD. The structures should contain the attributes specified inyourERD. Use data types that are appropriate for the data that will need to be stored in each attribute. Enforce primary key and foreign key constraints as indicated byyour ERD.4.Write the SQL code toinsert your data from (2) into theSQLtable structures.
