E/R Model
• Designs are pictures called entity-relationship diagrams.

• Allows us to sketch the design of a database informally

• Defines the conceptual view of a database

• At view level, the ER model is considered a good option for designing databases

Entity
• “thing” or object in the real world with an independent existences

• Either be physical existence or conceptual existence

• In an entity-relationship diagram, each entity set is represented by a rectangle.

Car

Attributes
• Attribute = property of an entity set.

✓ Generally, all entities in a set have the same properties


✓ Attributes are simple values, e.g. integers or character strings.

• Represented by an oval …..

Type of Attributes
1. Simple vs Composite attributes : atomic vs subparts

2. Single-valued vs Multi valued attributes: one vs many

3. Stored vs Derived attributes : derived form stored

4. Null values : void (What are the different types)

5. Complex attributes : combination of composite and multivalued

Concepts of different Keys
• An attribute or collection of attributes that uniquely identifies an entity among entity set.

For example, the roll_number of a student makes him/her identifiable among students.

• Super Key − A set of attributes (one or more) that collectively identifies an entity in an entity set.

• Candidate Key − A minimal super key is called a candidate key. An entity set may have more than
one candidate key.

• Primary Key − A primary key is one of the candidate keys chosen by the database designer to
uniquely identify the entity set.

Concepts of different Keys

CSEN-3206 DBMS (Only) || Aritra Saha || HIT – K || Spring - 2019 17 of 20


Primary v/s Unique Key
Primary Key:
• cannot have a NULL value.
• Each table can have only one primary key.
• Primary key can be related with another table's as a Foreign Key.
• Primary key supports Auto Increment value.

Unique Key:
• Unique Constraint may have a NULL value.
• Each table can have more than one Unique Constraint.
• Unique Constraint can not be related with another table's as a Foreign Key.
• Unique Constraint doesn't supports Auto Increment value.
