Aim: Draw Entity Relationship Diagram to represent passenger and train booking
relationship.

Theory:-
 ER Diagram/ model stands for an Entity-Relationship model. It is a high-level data model.
This model is used to define the data elements and relationship for a specified system.
 It develops a conceptual design for the database. It also develops a very simple and easy to
design view of data.
 In ER modeling, the database structure is portrayed as a diagram called an entity-
relationship diagram.
 Suppose we design a school database. In this database, the student will be an entity with
attributes like address, name, id, age, etc.
 The address can be another entity with attributes like city, street name, pin code, etc and
there will be a relationship between them.

Attributes

Entity

Tool:- We can use any software freely available to draw schema diagram. Here, we have used
Diagrams.net online platform.

Drag and drop different shapes given in General tab. We have selected a shape which shows list of
table items. Connect different shapes using arrows. You may draw multiple tables with a single
central fact table.
Save file as, Select menu File-> Make a copy-> Choose type as Editable Bitmap Image (.png) Save
diagram on drive.
Now, open saved file from drive.

Result:- Thus, we have designed ER Diagram.
