Build logistics dashboards
Step 1: Create Database CREATE DATABASE logistics_db; USE logistics_db;
Step 2: Create Customers Table CREATE TABLE customers ( customer_id INT PRIMARY KEY, customer_name VARCHAR(100), city VARCHAR(50) );
Step 3: Create Warehouses Table CREATE TABLE warehouses ( warehouse_id INT PRIMARY KEY, warehouse_name VARCHAR(100), city VARCHAR(50) );
Step 4: Create Shipments Table CREATE TABLE shipments ( shipment_id INT PRIMARY KEY, customer_id INT, warehouse_id INT, shipment_date DATE, delivery_date DATE, shipping_cost DECIMAL(10,2), shipment_status VARCHAR(30), delivery_partner VARCHAR(100), FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(customer_id), FOREIGN KEY (warehouse_id) REFERENCES warehouses(warehouse_id) );
Step 5: Insert Sample Customers INSERT INTO customers VALUES (1,‘Rahul Sharma’,‘Mumbai’), (2,‘Priya Verma’,‘Delhi’), (3,‘Amit Patel’,‘Pune’), (4,‘Sneha Joshi’,‘Bangalore’), (5,‘Rohan Gupta’,‘Hyderabad’);
Step 6: Insert Sample Warehouses INSERT INTO warehouses VALUES (101,‘Mumbai Warehouse’,‘Mumbai’), (102,‘Delhi Warehouse’,‘Delhi’), (103,‘Pune Warehouse’,‘Pune’), (104,‘Bangalore Warehouse’,‘Bangalore’);
Step 7: Insert Sample Shipments INSERT INTO shipments VALUES (1001,1,101,‘2025-01-05’,‘2025-01-07’,450,‘Delivered’,‘BlueDart’), (1002,2,102,‘2025-01-06’,‘2025-01-09’,620,‘Delivered’,‘DTDC’), (1003,3,103,‘2025-01-07’,‘2025-01-11’,780,‘Delayed’,‘Delhivery’), (1004,4,104,‘2025-01-08’,‘2025-01-10’,390,‘Delivered’,‘XpressBees’), (1005,5,101,‘2025-01-09’,‘2025-01-14’,950,‘Delayed’,‘BlueDart’);
