Your copy of Microsoft dbWeb includes the Microsoft® Access database file, nwind.mdb, that you can use as an example data source when exploring the application’s features. Nwind.mdb contains the data for a fictitious company called Northwind Traders, which imports and exports specialty foods from around the globe. Most of the examples discussed in this book are based on the dbnwind database. You may want to practice designing dbWeb schemas based on the Orders table of this database, because it contains enough records to produce meaningful results.

The diagram below illustrates the structure of the dbnwind database and how the different entities relate to one another. Refer to this diagram whenever you design dbWeb schemas. The "1" symbol indicates the "one" side of the relationship. The "M" symbol indicates the "many" side of the relationship. If you possess a working copy of Microsoft Access, you can view and work with the dbnwind database online.
