1. The database is science-oriented
2. It should have seven (7) records
3. It should have five (5) sets of fields
Then, create the corresponding database structure manually

Venus (Greek: Aphrodite; Babylonian:
Ishtar) is the goddess of love and
beauty. The planet is so named
probably because it is the brightest of
the planets known to the ancients.
(With a few exceptions, the surface
features on Venus are named for
female figures.)
Earth is the only planet whose English
name does not derive from
Greek/Roman mythology. The name
derives from Old English and Germanic
Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War.
The planet probably got this name due
to its red color; Mars is sometimes
referred to as the Red Planet. (An
interesting side note: the Roman god
Mars was a god of agriculture before
becoming associated with the Greek
Ares; those in favor of colonizing and
terraforming Mars may prefer this
symbolism.)
Jupiter (a.k.a. Jove; Greek Zeus) was
the King of the Gods, the ruler of
Olympus and the patron of the Roman
state. Zeus was the son of Cronus
(Saturn).
In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god
of agriculture. The associated Greek
god, Cronus, was the son of Uranus
and Gaia and the father of Zeus
(Jupiter).
Uranus is named after the ancient
Greek deity of the sky Uranus (Ancient
Greek: Οὐρανός) the father of Kronos
(Saturn) and grandfather of Zeus
(Jupiter).
