DATABASE 1-2
CONCLUSION 13
Database
A database is a collection of related data. By data we mean known facts that
can be recorded and that have implicit meaning.
ATTRIBUTES
ENTITY: Employee
ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Name Sneha
Address 2311 xxx
Age 55
Phone no 9876543247
RELATIONSHIP:
The association among entities is called a relationship.
RELATIONSHIP DEGREE:
The degree of relaionship type is the number of participating entity
types.
BINARY RELATIONSHIP:
A relationship of degree two is called binary relationship.
For ex:
CASE STUDY ON UNIVERSITY DATABASE:
ENTITY ATTRIBUTES
STUDENT Name,Address,Bdate,Student-ID,Gender
DEPARTMENTS DepartmentName,Location
COURSES Name,Course-ID,Duration
As our case study is on relationship types of degree higher than two so
we are focusing on ternary relationship.
TERNARY RELATIONSHIP:
SIGNIFICANCE OF ER DIAGRAM
VISUAL REPRESENTATION:
The foremost and most important ERD benefit is that it provides
a visual representation of the design. It is normally crucial to have an
ERD if you are looking to come up with an effective database design. This
is because the patterns assist the designer in focusing on the way the
database will primarily work with all the data flows and interactions. It is
common to the ERD being used together with data flow diagrams so as
to attain a better visual representation.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION:
An ERD clearly communicates the key entities in a certain database and
their relationship with each other. ERD normally uses symbols for
representing three varying kinds of information. Diamonds are used for
representing the relationships, ovals are usually used for representing
attributes and boxes represent the entities. This allows a designer to
effectively communicate what exactly the database will be like.
SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND:
ERD is easy to understand and simple to create. In effect,
this design can be used to be shown to the representatives for both
approval and confirmation. The representatives can also make their
contributions to the design, allowing the possibilities of rectifying and
enhancing the design.
HIGH FLEXIBLITY:
The ERD thereby acts like the blueprint for the database and it allows
the creation of an accurate design that reflects the needs of the project.
Notations
In this case study we have learnt that University data base keeps track of
students and their registration as well as of the universitys course offerings.
The data base also keeps track of faculty and graduate students. The data base
maintains information on students name, students address, students id,
students date of birth, students gender and also maintains the information of
faculty id, faculty name. All faculty members are related to the academic
department with which they are affliated. Each student is related to his or her
departments. An academic department has the attributes dname ,location,
dno and is related to the faculty member whos its chairperson and to the
college to which it belongs. A course has attributes course name ,course id,
and duration.
