Pharmacy Database

A pharmacy has a database of different types of medicines. The database should store the

details of all prescriptions brought by patients. A prescription belongs to one patient. A patient

can have multiple prescriptions. Tables:

• Patient

Patient (MRN, Street, City, State, Zipcode, PhoneNum)

- MRN is the primary key for the Patient table and cannot be null.

• Prescription

Prescription (RxNum, MedicationName, Directions, Qtyfilled, Refill, PSBR,

MRN)

- RxNum is the primary key for the Patient table and cannot be null.

- Both Patient and Prescription tables have the MRN field in common. The MRN field in the

Prescription table is a foreign key that must match the primary key of the Patient table.

Patient and Prescription have a one-to-many relationship:

Patient (MRN, Street, City, State, Zipcode, PhoneNum)

Prescription (RxNum, MedName, Directions, Qtyfilled, Refill, PSBR, MRN)

• Patient

Patient (MRN, Street, City, State, Zipcode, PhoneNum)

SK PhoneNum

- No alternate key identified

- No foreign key identified

• Prescription

Prescription (RxNum, MedName, Directions, Qtyfilled, Refill, PSBR, MRN)
