This is a very basic implementation of an online bookstore. It has views for both the owner and the customer. The customer can create a profile, search for books, and add them to a shopping cart to purchase them later. They can also view their cart and look at their order history. The owner can choose to order books for the store and run reports on sales and expenses.

To run this locally, you should have a C++ compiler installed. I used g++. You should also have PostgreSQL installed and have a database set up for this specific purpose. In the src/main.cc file, you should update the database name, user name, and password for your database. If you are using the defaults for address and port number, the values there should work. Otherwise, you should edit the address and port number as well.

To get the database ready, there are a series of SQL queries in the SQL directory. These need to be run in a specific order so that they work properly. To make them work, execute the queries in the files in the following order:

• DDL.sql
• procedures.sql
• triggers.sql
• publisher-queries.sql
• book-queries.sql
• author-queries.sql
• genre-queries.sql

After that is set up, you should be able to run "make" in the main project directory to compile the program. After compilation, you can run it by typing ./bookstore in the terminal (from the project directory). Alternatively, you can type "make run" from the start, which will compile and then immediately run the program.
