Using Crows-foot notation



NB: The tool used was VisualParadigm (available in labs), which automatically resolves many-to-many
relationships, e.g. CustomerAccount(Possesses)
Many ER diagramming tools exist: ERwin, Microsoft Visio, Rational Rose, System Architect, Visual
Paradigm etc. Some free software diagramming tools just draw the ER notational shapes, e.g., Dia (part of
the GNOME project office suite), or www.draw.io. These kinds of tools usually do not enforce any
semantic rules.



II) Relational Schema

Customer (CCode, Title, Fname, Lname, Address, Pcode)
Account (AccNo, AccCode, Atype, Irate, Olimit, BCode)
Possesses (CCode, AccNo, CardNo)
Card (CardNo, IssueNo, IssueDate, ExpiryDate, Limit)
Branch (Bcode, Bname, Address, Pcode, Phone, Type)
Staff (Scode, Title, Fname, Lname, BCode, Position)
Pay (Position, Bsalary, Increment, Otime)
