[MUSIC] Welcome to ERDs and

Types of Relationships. After watching this video,


you will be able to describe entity relationship diagram (ERD) and
its fundamental components. Identify the difference between
one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships. An ERD is a visual
representation that
illustrates the relationships and interactions between
entities in a database. It showcases the logical structure of
a database system displaying entities and the relationships between them
as lines connecting these boxes. Let us now explore the fundamental
components that form the structure of a relationship. These include entities,
relationship sets,
and crow's foot notations. Entities in ERDs represent people,
objects, or concepts that store data in a database. They serve as fundamental
building blocks
depicted as rectangles in ERDs and contain attributes describing
specific properties. Entities form the basis for
relationships within the database model. Relationship sets illustrate how
entities are interconnected or associated with each
other within a database. They represent the connections between
different entities, showing how instances of one entity type relate to
instances of another entity type. Crow's foot notation is a visual
representation to indicate the relationship between
entities in a database. It employs symbols to
signify the nature and quantity of relationships
between entities. These symbols provide a clear depiction of
whether the relationship is one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many,
helping in the design and understanding of complex databases. There are different
techniques for
representing relationships. A rectangle represents entity sets. A diamond
represents relationship sets
with lines connecting associated entities. The crow's foot notation employs symbols
such as the greater-than symbol, the less-than symbol, and
vertical lines to signify the nature and quantity of relationships
between entities. In this example, the entity book
is shown in a rectangle and the attributes are shown in oval. Attributes are
certain properties
of that entity, for example, title, edition, year, price, and so on. Each attribute
connects
to exactly one entity. Let's now see how the ER diagram appears for
the author entity. The entity author has
attributes such as last name, first name, email, city,
country, and author Id. Let's explore how the entities book and
author relate to each other. A book requires at least one author,
but can involve up to two authors or even more. Similarly, an author can write one,
two, or multiple books. In both scenarios, a definitive relationship exists
between the book and the author. In this scenario, the relationship set is
named "Authored by." Each book is written by a single author, denoted by the thick
lines connecting the entities. It represents a one-to-one relationship,
implying that each entity in the set is engaged in at
least one and precisely one relationship. The diagrams only feature entities, as
including attributes
might clutter the diagram. When multiple authors
contribute to a book, it can be depicted using crow's foot
notation using a less-than symbol. The symbol signifies that one book entity
is participating in multiple relationships within the set. It is termed as a one-
to-many relationship. The relationship can also be viewed as
a many-to-one signifying that multiple authors contribute to a single book. To
represent many authors writing
many books use the greater-than and less-than symbols on either
side of the relationship set. The scenario is termed
a many-to-many relationship. Multiple relationships involve
each entity in the entity set. It includes scenarios where
many authors author many books. In this video, you learned that an ERD is
a visual representation that illustrates the relationships and interactions
between entities in a database. The fundamental components that form
the structure of a relationship include entities, relationship sets,
and crow's foot notations. In a one-to-one relationship, each entity
is linked to just one instance of another entity. In a one-to-many relationship, an
entity is linked with multiple
instances of another entity. In a many-to-many relationship, multiple
instances of one entity are linked with multiple instances of another entity.
