Chapter 1, Problem 6AYK

Create a new table containing the category code and description for the categories of books sold by JustLee Books. The table should be called CATEGORY, and the columns should be CatCode and CatDesc. The CatCode column should store a maximum of 2 characters, and the CatDesc column should store a maximum of 10 characters.

The SERVICE_REQUEST table uses the CHAR data type for the DESCRIPTION and STATUS fields. Is there an alternate data type that could be used to store the values in these fields? Justify your reason for choosing an alternate data type or for leaving the data type as CHAR.
