* a constant that uses the ProductID column to reference the Product column of the ProductTypes table
* a constraint on the CategoryID column that allows one row with a null value in the column
* a constraint that limits the SalePrice column to values greater than four Finance department users must be able to retrieve data from the table for sales persons where the value of the SalesYTD column is above a certain threshold.
You plan to create a memory-optimized table named . The table must meet the following requirements:
* The table must hold 10 million unique sales orders.
* The table must use checkpoints to minimize I/O operations and must not use transaction logging.
* Data loss is acceptable.
Performance for queries against the SalesOrder table that use WHERE clauses with exact equality operations must be optimized.

You have a database named DB1 that contains the following tables: Customer, CustomerToAccountBridge, and CustomerDetails. The three tables are part of the Sales schema. The database also contains a schema named Website. You create the Customer table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
The value of the CustomerStatus column is equal to one for active customers. The value of the Account1Status and Account2Status columns are equal to one for active accounts. The following table displays selected columns and rows from the Customer table.
You plan to create a view named Website.Customer and a view named Sales.FemaleCustomers.
Website.Customer must meet the following requirements:

You must update the design of the Customer table to meet the following requirements.
* You must be able to store up to 50 accounts for each customer.
* Users must be able to retrieve customer information by supplying an account number.
