+SELECT * FROM inventory

+SELECT COUNT(active) FROM customer
+	WHERE ACTIVE = 0; -- there are 15 non active users
+SELECT * FROM customer
+	WHERE active=0;

+--  Create a table _backup table_ as suggested
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS deleted_users (
+	customer_id SMALLINT PRIMARY KEY,
+    email VARCHAR(40),
+    date datetime);
+    
+-- - Insert the non active users in the table _backup table_ WE DON'T INSERT DATA MANUALLY!
