• InvoiceLine (InvLineNumber, InvNumber, ProductNumber, Quantity)
• Product (ProductNumber, ProductDescription, ProductCost)
• Department (DepartmentID, DepartmentDescription)
• Job (JobID, JobDescription)

3. Construct a query that will show distinct area codes of the customers.
3. Create a plan of the necessary activities that would be required to implement a valid database design process by including the following:
1. Steps in the conceptual design stage
