Lab4 Title: To Draw Er Diagram of A Management System

This document discusses entity relationship (ER) diagrams, which illustrate how entities relate to each other within a system. It defines ER diagrams and their components like rectangles, ellipses, and diamonds to represent entities, attributes, and relationships. The key benefits of ER diagrams are that they help define terms, show how tables connect, describe entities and attributes, and can be translated into relational databases. As an example, the document provides an ER diagram of a job portal system that shows entities like applicants and companies, and their relationships - like an applicant searching multiple jobs and a company posting single jobs.

TITLE: TO DRAW ER DIAGRAM OF A MANAGEMENT


SYSTEM
OBJECTIVE
 To write down the functional and non-functional requirement of a job
searching and hiring website.
THEORY
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.
Here, are prime reasons for using the ER Diagram
 Helps you to define terms related to entity relationship modeling
 Provide a preview of how all your tables should connect, what fields are
going to be on each table
 Helps to describe entities, attributes, relationships
 ER diagrams are translatable into relational tables which allows you to
build databases quickly
 ER diagrams can be used by database designers as a blueprint for
implementing data in specific software applications
 The database designer gains a better understanding of the information to
be contained in the database with the help of ERP diagram
 ERD Diagram allows you to communicate with the logical structure of
the database to users
ER Diagrams Symbols & Notations
Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols & Notations mainly contains three basic
symbols which are rectangle, oval and diamond to represent relationships
between elements, entities and attributes.
Following are the main components and its symbols in ER Diagrams:
 Rectangles: This Entity Relationship Diagram symbol represents entity
types
 Ellipses : Symbol represent attributes
 Diamonds: This symbol represents relationship types
 Lines: It links attributes to entity types and entity types with other
relationship types
 Primary key: attributes are underlined
 Double Ellipses: Represent multi-valued attributes

In this figure it shows that an applicant has a user ID, user name, and mobile
number and it has a relationship with a login portal which has the username and
the password and an applicant also has an CV which is viewed by the company.
A company has company name, e-mail ,company location. Company posts job
which has job ID and salary an applicant also searches for many jobs so it has a
relationship of one too many. This figure also shows many relationships such as
one to one relationship which the applicant has with the job portal which means
that only one applicant is allowed to have one one user name an password
basically have one account in the system and the same applicant can search for
multiple jobs so it has one to many relationship with job.

CONCLUSION
Hence, we learned ER diagram and its importance .We were also familiarised
with the different components and symbols of er diagram. Finally we made an
er diagram for a job portal system.
