    customer_id VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    address_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(customer_id),
    FOREIGN KEY (address_id) REFERENCES addresses(address_id)
);

-- Products table
CREATE TABLE products (
    product_id VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    price DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL
