  Customer: Relations

  AA1: Friend, Relative

  AA2: Friend, Coleague

  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customers](

  [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

  [CustomerName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,

  [Status] [varchar](50) NULL,

  [AddedDatetime] [datetime] NULL,

  CONSTRAINT [PK_Customers] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

  (

  [Id] ASC

  )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

  ) ON [PRIMARY]

  GO

  ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Customers] ADD CONSTRAINT [DF_Customers_AddedDatetime] DEFAULT (getdate()) FOR [AddedDatetime]

  GO

  insert into dbo.Customers (CustomerName, [Status]) values ('AA1', 'Friend')

  insert into dbo.Customers (CustomerName, [Status]) values ('AA2', 'Friend')
