E R Diagram

ER Diagram-1
• The company you work for wants to digitize their time cards, to design the database for submitting and approving
time cards. Draw the database ER diagram with the following information:
• • A timecard should have hours worked and date submitted
• • Each timecard is associated with exactly one employee
• • Each timecard should have a unique id
• • Each timecard has a status: it is either approved, not approved, or pending
• • Each employee has a unique id
• • Each employee has a name and address.
• • Each employee submits a time card every pay period. i.e. In 1 year, they will submit multiple time cards
• • Each employee either has direct deposit or physical check as their method of payment
• • Each employee is associated with exactly one manager
• • Each manager has a unique id and a name
• • Each manager is in charge of multiple employees
• • Each manager approves time cards for multiple employees
• STEP 1) Find the entities. Time Card, Employee, Manager.
STEP 2) Find the relationship.
STEP 3) Find the key attributes for every entity.
E R Diagram-2
• The Prescriptions-R-X chain of pharmacies has offered to give you
and your two neighbors a free lifetime supply of medicine if you
design its database. Given the rising cost of health care, you agree.
Here are the requirements.
Requirements
• Patients are identified by an SSN, and their names, addresses, and ages must be recorded.
• Doctors are identified by an SSN. For each doctor, the name, specialty, and years of experience must be recorded.
• Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number.
• For each drug, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by a given pharmaceutical company,
and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products of that company. If a pharmaceutical company
is deleted, you need not keep track of its products any longer.
• Each pharmacy has a name, address, and phone number.
• Every patient has a primary physician. Every doctor has at least one patient.
• Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price
could vary from one pharmacy to another.
• Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several patients, and a patient
could obtain prescriptions from several doctors. Each prescription has a date and a quantity associated with it. You can
assume that, if a doctor prescribes the same drug for the same patient more than once, only the last such prescription
needs to be stored.
• Pharmaceutical companies have long-term contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can contract with
several pharmacies, and a pharmacy can contract with several pharmaceutical companies. For each contract, you have
to store a start date, an end date, and the text of the contract.
• Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each contract, but the
contract supervisor can change over the lifetime of the contract.
E R Diagram 3
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_team and
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
