 Entity Relationship Model


 Types of Attributes
 Relationship
 Structural Constraints
 Relational Model
 Relational Model Constraints
 Mapping ER Model to a relational schema
 Integrity Constraint

 Collection of Tools for describing


 Data
 Data relationships
 Data semantics
 Data constraints
 Types of Data Model
 Entity Relationship Model
 Object Oriented Model Object based

 Relational Data Model

ER Model 4

 ER model is the logical representation of


data as objects and relationships among
them.
 Designed by Peter Chen and published in
1976
 ER Model is a high-level conceptual data
model.
 ER model is a design or blueprint of a
database.
 ER diagram shows the complete logical
structure of a database.

Name RegNo Major entity

Entity Types 8

 Types of Entities in ER Model


 Strong entity or regular entity
Entity type that do have key attribute
 Weak entity or identifying entity
Entity type that do not have key attributes of their
own

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.

Attributes 9

 Attributes
 Each entity has attributes—the particular
properties that describe it
 Employee Entity
 Name, Id, Address, age, designation , salary
 Types of Attributes
 Simple and Composite
 Single valued and multivalued
 Stored and Derived

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.

Attributes 10

 Simple and Composite Attribute


 Simple or atomic
 Attributes that are not divisible into smaller
subparts
 Example : age, rollno
 Composite
 can be divided into smaller subparts

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.


Attributes 11

 Single valued and Multi valued Attribute


 Single valued
 Attribute that consists of single value
 Example : age, regno
 Multivalued
 Attribute that has multiple values
 Example
 Mobile No.
 Degree
 Email

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.


Attributes 12

 Stored and Derived Attribute


 Stored
 The value derivable from an attribute which is
referred as stored attribute
 Example : DoB
 Derived
 Value of one attribute can be derived from
another attribute
 Example
 Age DoB

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.


Attributes 13

NULL values
 Several meaning for Null values
 Not applicable value
 Example : Apartment No, Degree
 Value Unknown
 Value exists but is not available

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.


Attributes 14

 Complex Attributes
 composite and multivalued attributes can be nested arbitrarily
 Composite - ()
 Phone(Area_code, Phone_number)
 Address(Street_address (Number, Street, Apartment_no), City, State, Zip)
 Multivalued - {}
 { Phone(Area_code,Phone_number) }
 Example
 Address_phone
 Address_phone( Address(Street_address (Number, Street, Apartment_no), City, State,
Zip), {Phone(Area_code,Phone_number)})
Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.
Relationship 15

 A relationship is an association among


two or more entities.
 Within entity-relationship diagrams,
relationships are used to document the
interaction between two entities.
 Types of Relationships are usually verbs
such as assign, associate, or track.

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.


Higher Relationship Degree 16

 Degree of a relationship is the number of


participating entity types
 Binary
 Ternary or Higher
Binary relationship

Mapping Cardinalities 17

A B
 Mapping cardinalities or cardinality ratios
express the number of entities to which
another entity can be associated via a
relationship set
 useful in describing binary relationship sets
 One to one
 One to many
 Many to one
 Many to Many

Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.

with at most one entity in B, and an
entity in B is associated with at most one
entity in A.
b. One-to-many. An entity in A is
associated with any number (zero or
more) of entities in B. An entity in B,
however, can be associated with at most

Structural Constraints 23

Partial Participation  Participation Constraints


 specifies whether the existence of an entity depends
Total Participation on its being related to another entity via the
relationship type.
 Total Participation / existence dependency
Partial Participation  if every entity in E must participate in at least one
relationship in R
 Ex: every entity in the total set of Instructor entities
must be related to a Student entity via Adivsor
relationship
 Partial Participation
Total Participation  Some entities in E do not participate in relationships
in R
 Ex: some part ofDr.set of Instructor entities are related

Locations is multivalued attribute.
Name, Number are key attributes
2. PROJECT = {Name, Number, Location, and Controlling_department}
Name, Number are key attributes
3. EMPLOYEE= {Name, Ssn, Sex, Address, Salary, Birth_date, Department, Supervisor}
Name and Address may be composite attributes;

Extended ER - Specialization and Generalization 36

 Generalization is the process of


extracting common properties from a set
entities
 Bottom up approach
 Ex : Savings_account, Checking_account
can be generalized to Account entity
 Specialization is the process of defining a
set of sub entities from an entity type.
 Top down approach
 For example, the set of subclasses
{Savings_account, Checking_account} is a
specialization of the superclass ACCOUNT.
Top down approach Bottom up approch Dr. K.P. Vijayakumar, VIT Chennai, India.
