Er (DBMS)

The document discusses concepts related to data modeling using the entity-relationship (ER) model. It includes multiple choice questions about logical design, entity sets, relationship types, relationship constraints, weak entity types, and notations used in ER diagrams. The key topics covered are attributes, entity types, relationships, participation constraints, cardinality ratios, and uniqueness constraints as they relate to modeling data using the ER model.

Which of the following is not true with regarding to weak entity types a) An owner entity can be weak entity
