Suppose you are a software engineer at big mobile phone operator. You have to design a client database. This database contains, Name, Date of birth, place of birth, marital status, ID-card, adress, email, telephon number. And you have also mobile numbers from 111XXXXX to 999XXXXX in another databse that you have to choose one for each new client.Explain the possible type(s) for all fields of your databases.
