Create the supplier table (SUPPLIERS)

Later in our examples, you will need a second table. This table will contain information about suppliers of our inventory items, which items they supply, and the cost of the item from that supplier.

Create a table called SUPPLIERS in SAMPLELIB. This table will have three columns: SUPPLIER_NUMBER, ITEM_NUMBER, and SUPPLIER_COST.

Notice that this table has a common column with table INVENTORY_LIST: ITEM_NUMBER. Rather than create a new ITEM_NUMBER column, you can copy the column definition used for ITEM_NUMBER in INVENTORY_LIST table.
