Tutorial 8 – Questions & Solutions
1. An organisation named DADCo Solutions has a number of employees, a name and a phone
number. Each employee can be identified by his/her employee id. Many employees purchase
computer equipment (such as a laptop or tablet) to use as part of their job. Each piece of
equipment has an id (a barcode supplied by the organisation), a description and a date of
purchase. Each piece of equipment only ever belongs to a single employee. Some employees
(generally those on a higher salary) have more than one piece of equipment.
Create an ERD solution based on the above narrative.

Convert the ERD to a relational schema.

During the championships, a puzzle is simultaneously given to a number of competitors. As
each competitor completes a puzzle his/her time is recorded.
