Phillip Morgan, the owner of Morgan Importing, makes periodic buying trips to various countries. During the trips, he keeps notes about the items he purchases and basic data about their shipments. He hired a college student as an intern, and she transformed his notes into the spreadsheets in Figure 4-9. This is just sample data. Phillip has purchased hundreds of items over the years, and they have been shipped in dozens of different shipments. Phillip wants to enter the information age, thus he has decided to develop a database of his inventory. He wants to keep track of the items he has purchased, their shipments, and eventually customers and sales. To get started, he has asked you to create a database for the data in Figure 4-9.
