34. Difference between ER and EER
35. List the properties of ER diagram
36. Distinguish between NULL and NOT NULL
37. Explain different types of keys with suitable examples
38. Draw the ER diagram for the following descriptions
a. A Company contains several Departments. Each Department have several
Locations. Departments are identified by a department name, Department no
and Department Locations. Managers control a particular department. Each
Department is associated with number of projects. Each of which has a unique
name, a unique number, and a single location. Employees are identified by
name, id, address, dob, phone no, date_of_joining and years of experience. We
will keep track of the direct supervisor of each employee (who is another
employee). An employee belongs to only one department but can work on
several project. We also keep track of number of hours worked by an
employee on a single project. Each employee has dependent. Dependents have
D_name, Gender, and relationship.
39. Compare and contrast Generalization with Specialization. Draw suitable diagrams for
each of them
40. Convert the following ER Model into equivalent relational model.

41. Design an ER diagram considering the following information.


a. A bank has many branches in a country. Each branch is identified with the
help of branch name. Each branch of the bank has multiple customers. An
employee of bank can be a manager or staff of that branch. Branch gives each
customer a unique id to identify them. Customers can open two type of
accounts i.e Savings account and Checking account. Branches of the bank
provide Loan to the customers which are identified with the help of
payment_id. Determine the different entities and relationships.

42. Construct an E-R diagram for the registrar’s office. Document all assumptions that
you make about the mapping constraints.

a. A university registrar’s office maintains data about the following entities: (a)
courses, including number, title, credits, syllabus, and prerequisites; (b) course
offerings, including course number, year, semester, section number,
instructor(s), timings, and classroom; (c) students, including student-id, name,
and program; and (d) instructors, including identification number, name,
department, and title. Further, the enrollment of students in courses and grades
awarded to students in each course they are enrolled for must be appropriately
modeled.
43. Consider a university database for the scheduling of classrooms for final exams.
This database could be modeled as the single entity set exam, with attributes course-
name, section-number, room-number, and time. Alternatively, one or more additional
entity sets could be defined, along with relationship sets to replace some of the
attributes of the exam entity set, as
• course with attributes name, department, and c-number
• section with attributes s-number and enrollment, and dependent as a weak entity set
on course
• room with attributes r-number, capacity, and building

Show an E-R diagram illustrating the use of all three additional entity sets listed.

44. Suppose you are given the following requirements for a simple database for the
National Hockey League (NHL):
•the NHL has many teams,
•each team has a name, a city, a coach, a captain, and a set of players,
•each player belongs to only one team,
•each player has a name, a position (such as left wing or goalie), a skill level, and a set of
injury records,
•a team captain is also a player,
•a game is played between two teams (referred to as host_teamand guest_team) and has a
date (such as May 11th, 1999) and a score (such as 4 to 2).

Construct a clean and concise ER diagram for the NHL database using the Chen notation as
in your textbook. List your assumptions and clearly indicate the cardinality mappings as well
as any role indicators in your ER diagram.

45. Convert the following ER-Model into an equivalent relational model of a hospital
database system.
