    The document discusses the key concepts of an Entity Relationship (ER) model including entities, attributes, relationships, and relationship constraints. Entities can have simple or composite attributes that are single or multi-valued. Relationships connect entities and have descriptive attributes, degrees, and mapping cardinalities such as one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many. The ER model helps design relational databases by modeling the entities, attributes, and relationships within an organization or system.

    E R Model

    The Entity Relationship Model


    Why ER Model is used?
    ER Modelling Constructs
    1. Entities
    Entity Set
    2. Attributes
    Example
    Types of Attributes
    Simple Attributes
    Composite Attributes
    Single Valued Attribute
    Multi-valued Attribites
    Stored Attribute
    Derived Attribute
    Key Attribute
    Other possible combinations
    Composite & multi-valued attribute
    • In general, composite and multi-valued attributes may be nested
    arbitrarily to any number of levels
    • For example, PreviousDegrees of a STUDENT is a composite multi-valued
    attribute denoted by {PreviousDegrees (College, Year, Degree, Field)}
    • Multiple PreviousDegrees values can exist

    • Each has four subcomponent attributes:

    • College, Year, Degree, Field


    3. Relationships
    Example
    Relationship Set
    • Relationship Type:
    • Is the schema description of a relationship
    • Identifies the relationship name and the participating entity types
    • Also identifies certain relationship constraints
    • Relationship Set:
    • The current set of relationship instances represented in the database
    • The current state of a relationship type
    Relationship: Descriptive Attributes
    Degree of Relationship
    Degree of Relationship
    Degree of Relationship
    Mapping Cardinalities (Cardinality Ratio)
    One to One (1-1) Relationship
    One to Many (1:M Relationship)
    Many to One (M:1 Relationship)
    Many to Many (M:N Relationship)
    How to choose relationship?
    Example:
    Participation Constraints/ Existence
    Dependency Constraint
