3.2.3 Mapping from ER Models to Relational Models Mapping Algorithm Example There is almost a one-to-one correspondence between the ER constructs and the relational ones. The two major distinctions are: 1.In a relational schema, relationships are representedimplicitlythrough primary and foreign keys...
Relational schema Tables--就是方框 Primary keys 具有唯一值 不可以有空值 一般只有一个 Foreign keys(连接两个table) 来自另一个table的primary key 可以改名字 可以有多个 矩形--代表一个实体(entity),也就是一个类别,在数据库中是一个table 椭圆--代表entity中的属性,如果是唯一(unique),则在属性下面画一...

You cannot exactly do this in a relational schema. However, you have a choice.You can either model the supertype and all its subtypes as a single table (and leave the null values that don’t apply), or you can turn each subtype into its own table and set up 1:1 relationships between...

4.Convert the following E-R schema into a relational schema using the mapping algorithm specified in this course. Specify key and referential integrity constraints, using directed arcs. Make sure you also identify alternate keys. Label each step of the mapping algorithm. Answer: 1. Entity: 1.Ba...
Points to Remember Similarly we can generate relational database schema using the ER diagram. Following are some key points to keep in mind while doing so: Entity gets converted into Table, with all the attributes becoming fields(columns) in the table. ...

Then at second stage, the system enables automatically transformation of ERD to relational database schema by using common rules. Thus, the learner could understand more easily how to apply the theoretical material. A detailed description of system functionalities and algorithm for the conversion are ...
