Work Step by Step

To design a relational database for fruits, colors, and the season of their availability, we can create three tables: `fruits`, `colors`, and `availability`. Here's a basic outline of how these tables could be structured: 1. `fruits` table: - Columns: fruit_id (Primary Key), fruit_name 2. `colors` table: - Columns: color_id (Primary Key), color_name 3. `availability` table: - Columns: availability_id (Primary Key), fruit_id (Foreign Key referencing `fruits` table), color_id (Foreign Key referencing `colors` table), season In this schema, the `fruits` table stores information about fruits, the `colors` table stores information about colors, and the `availability` table links fruits with their available colors and the season they are available in. This schema avoids redundancies by keeping each type of information in a separate table and using foreign keys to establish relationships between them.
