7 March 2012

An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a visual representation of dierent data

using conventions that describe how these data are related to each other. For
example, the elements writer, novel, and consumer may be described using ER
diagrams this way:

inside diamonds denote the relationships between entities. This ER diagram tutorial

ER Diagrams Usage
While able to describe just about any system, ER diagrams are most often
associated with complex databases that are used in software engineering and IT
networks. In particular, ER diagrams are frequently used during the design stage of
a development process in order to identify dierent system elements and their
relationships with each other. For example, an inventory software used in a retail
shop will have a database that monitors elements such as purchases, item, item
type, item source and item price. Rendering this information through an ER diagram
would be something like this:

In the diagram, the information inside the oval shapes are attributes of a particular
entity.

History of ER Diagrams
ER diagrams are visual tools that are used in the Entity-Relationship model initially
proposed by Peter Chen in 1976 to create a uniform convention that considers both
relational database and network views. Chen envisioned the ER model as a
conceptual modeling approach that views real world data as systems of entities and
relationships. Entities are data objects that maintain dierent relationships with each
other. Additionally, entities are also described further using attributes.
Since 1976, the ER model has been expanded and is sometimes used in business
management, product development, and strategy formulations. However, database
design remains its primary application.

There are three basic elements in an ER Diagram: entity, attribute, relationship.

There are more elements which are based on the main elements. They are weak
entity, multivalued attribute, derived attribute, weakrelationship and recursive
relationship. Cardinality and ordinality are two other notations used in ER diagrams
to further denerelationships.
Entity
An entity can be a person, place, event, or object that is relevant to a given system.
For example, a school system may include students, teachers, major courses,
subjects, fees, and other items. Entities are represented in ER diagrams by a
rectangle and named using singular nouns.
Weak Entity
A weak entity is an entity that depends on the existence of another entity. In more
technical terms it can dened as an entity that cannot be identied by its own
attributes. It uses a foreign key combined with its attributed to form the primary key.
Home (http://creately.com/)
An entity like order item is a good example for this. The order item will be
Features (http://creately.com/tour)
meaningless without an order so it depends on the existence of order.

Weak Entity Example in ER diagrams

Attribute
An attribute is a property, trait, or characteristic of an entity, relationship, or another
attribute. For example, the attribute Inventory Item Name is an attribute of the entity
Inventory Item. An entity can have as many attributes as necessary. Meanwhile,
attributes can also have their own specic attributes. For example, the attribute

customer address can have the attributes number, street, city, and state. These are
called composite attributes. Note that some top level ER diagrams do not show
attributes for the sake of simplicity. In those that do, however, attributes are
represented by oval shapes.

example a teacher entity can have multiple subject values.

An attribute based on another attribute. This is found rarely in ER diagrams. For

example for a circle the area can be derived from the radius.

Relationship
A relationship describes how entities interact. For example, the entity carpenter
may be related to the entity table by the relationship builds or makes.

Recursive Relationship
If the same entity participates more than once in a relationship it is known as a
recursive relationship. In the below example an employee can be a supervisor and
be supervised, so there is a recursive relationship.

Because ER diagrams are simple enough to understand, just about anyone can
create them. However, two dierent ER diagrams describing the same system may
still be radically dierent in terms of their simplicity, completeness, and eciency at
communicating the system. In other words, there are good ER diagrams and there
are poor ones.
Because this ER tutorial focuses on beginners below are some tips that will help
you build eective ER diagrams:
1. Identify all the relevant entities in a given system and determine the
relationships among these entities.
2. An entity should appear only once in a particular diagram.
3. Provide a precise and appropriate name for each entity, attribute, and
relationship in the diagram. Terms that are simple and familiar always beats
vague, technical-sounding words. In naming entities, remember to use singular
nouns. However, adjectives may be used to distinguish entities belonging to the
same class (part-time employee and full time employee, for example).
Home (http://creately.com/)
Meanwhile attribute names must be meaningful, unique, system-independent,
Features
(http:/
/creately.com/tour)
and easily
understandable.
4. Remove
vague,
redundant or unnecessary relationships between entities.
Pricing
(http:/
/creately.com/plans)
5. Never connect a relationship to another relationship.
About (http://creately.com/about-us)
6. Make eective use of colors. You can use colors to classify similar entities or to
highlight key areas in your diagrams.
You can draw entity relationship diagrams manually, especially when you are just
informally showing simple systems to your peers. However, for more complex
systems and for external audiences, you need diagramming software such as
Createlys to craft visually engaging and precise ER diagrams. The ER diagram
software (http://creately.com/ER-diagram-software) oered by Creately as an
online service is pretty easy to use and is a lot more aordable than purchasing
licensed software. It is also perfectly suited for development teams because of its
strong support for collaboration.

databases. First, ER diagrams are easy to understand and do not require a person to
undergo extensive training to be able to work with it eciently and accurately. This
means that designers can use ER diagrams to easily communicate with developers,
customers, and end users, regardless of their IT prociency. Second, ER diagrams
are readily translatable into relational tables which can be used to quickly build
databases. In addition, ER diagrams can directly be used by database developers as
the blueprint for implementing data in specic software applications. Lastly, ER
diagrams may be applied in other contexts such as describing the dierent
relationships and operations within an organization.

The model that you espouse (attributes in ovoids, aka the lollipop model) is OK for
small systems with very limited number of attributes per entity. Unfortunately, some
students try to use it for llarger assignments (20 entities with up to 20 attributes per
entity) and the whole model becomes unreadable unless they use A2-sized paper. If
I never see another model of this type, it will too soon!!

Hi, I have to do an ER model for a travel game app but we have not been shown
how in college. Can anyone please give me some ideas on how to go about this.
The player or multiple players are required to navigate their way to the objective
location using the transport infrastructure in a city or area, the games A.I places
them in. The maps will be updated on a frequent basis to add variety to the users
experience.

Inder, I know Im replying quite late, but tell me if the correct answer is what I
thought: to put every relation as 1..n, with one exception: the teacher/student
relation. Here I put 1 in the Teacher side and 1..n in the students side. Is it
correct? Thanks!

Examples are very simple and useful to understand ER Diagram.But if you take a
simpl eproblem statement and explain how to identify entity,relationships etc it
would be more helpful to understand.

Explanation is so good and easily understandable. I have some doubts. Ive taken a
DBMS-1 course in my Masters and my professor taught me ERD di erently. For
relationships he used triangle, not a diamond. In cardinality he didnt use UML, Chen
or Crows foot notations. He used some thing di erent, like Thick lines, thin lines,
one-sided arrows etc. Could you help me to gure out what notations are those and
also I am curious enough to know which notation is used widely. Please help me
with this.
Thanks.
