Development of E-R Diagram For The Project.
Development of E-R Diagram For The Project.
Task to be done:
Construct an E-R diagram for a car-insurance company whose customers own one or more cars each.
Each car has associated with it zero to any number of recorded accidents.
Objective:
The database analyst gains a better understanding of the data to be contained in the database
through the step of constructing the ERD.
The ERD serves as a documentation tool.
Finally, the ERD is used to connect the logical structure of the database to users. In particular,
the ERD effectively communicates the logic of the database to users.

E-R Diagram:
An Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of flowchart that illustrates how “entities” such as
people, objects or concepts relate to each other within a system. ER Diagrams are most often used to
design or debug relational databases in the fields of software engineering, business information systems,
education and research. Also known as ERDs or ER Models, they use a defined set of symbols such as
rectangles, diamonds, ovals and connecting lines to depict the interconnectedness of entities,
relationships and their attributes. They mirror grammatical structure, with entities as nouns and
relationships as verbs.
