Lab 1 & 2

Visio
Open Visio 2013/2016  Software and Database  choose Chen’s Database Notation

Creating Entities and different Attributes:


PK
R.C  set primary key

Derived attribute: gets its value from other attributes and maybe some calculations.
R.C  set derived attribute

Multivalued attribute: skills, more than one value. We don’t know the number of skills so it
should be mentioned as a multivalued attribute then it will be a table in RD. Any number of
skills will be accepted.
R.C  set multivalued attribute

Composite attribute: simple attribute; address, more than one attribute

Width (Change it for derived attribute to be appeared clearly)


R.C  format shapes

Identifying relationship

R.C  set identifying relationship
