ER Model Assignment

01. Consider the ER diagram shown in Figure below for part of a BANK database. Each
bank can have multiple branches, and each branch can have multiple accounts and
loans.
a) List the strong (non-weak) entity types in the ER diagram.
b) Is there a weak entity type? If so, give its name, partial key, and identifying
relationship.
c) What constraints do the partial key and the identifying relationship of the weak
entity type specify in this diagram?
d) List the names of all relationship types, and specify the (min, max) constraint on
each participation of an entity type in a relationship type. Justify your choices.

02. Consider a MAIL_ORDER database in which employees take orders for parts from
customers. The data requirements are summarized as follows:
■ The mail order company has employees, each identified by a unique employee
number, first and last name, and Zip Code.
■ Each customer of the company is identified by a unique customer number, first
and last name, and Zip Code.
■ Each part sold by the company is identified by a unique part number, a part name,
price, and quantity in stock.
■ Each order placed by a customer is taken by an employee and is given a unique
order number. Each order contains specified quantities of one or more parts. Each
order has a date of receipt as well as an expected ship date. The actual ship date is
also recorded.

Design an entity–relationship diagram for the mail order database.

03. Consider a MOVIE database in which data is recorded about the movie industry. The
data requirements are summarized as follows:
■ Each movie is identified by title and year of release. Each movie has a length in
minutes. Each has a production company, and each is classified under one or more
genres (such as horror, action, drama, and so forth). Each movie has one or more
directors and one or more actors appear in it. Each movie also has a plot outline.
Finally, each movie has zero or more quotable quotes, each of which is spoken by a
particular actor appearing in the movie.
■ Actors are identified by name and date of birth and appear in one or more movies.
Each actor has a role in the movie.
■ Directors are also identified by name and date of birth and direct one or more
movies. It is possible for a director to act in a movie (including one that he or she
may also direct).
■ Production companies are identified by name and each has an address. A
production company produces one or more movies.

Design an entity–relationship diagram for the movie database.
