Question
Does anyone know how to type up a many-many, many-one, and one-one erd relationship in sql tables? PLEASE USE SIMPLE CROWS FOOT ERDS!!!! Also, in the screenshot provided below, my teacher says "FOREIGN KEY (e_ssn) REFERENCES employee (ssn)" at the bottom, what does that mean? If youre having trouble understanding the 1st part of my question, use 2nd shot for reference.

Transcribed Image Text:### Weak Entity Primary Key
To illustrate handling weak entities in SQL, consider the following example:
**SQL Table Creation**
We're omitting named constraints due to space limitations.
```sql
CREATE TABLE dependent (
d_name VARCHAR(90),
e_ssn CHAR(11) NOT NULL,
gender CHAR(1), -- I'm changing this
birth_date DATE,
relationship VARCHAR(20),
CHECK(gender IN ('M', 'F', 'N', 'T', 'I', 'P')),
PRIMARY KEY(d_name, e_ssn),
FOREIGN KEY(e_ssn) REFERENCES employee(ssn)
);
```
**Notes:**
- There's no need to verify the `ssn` format since it's a `FOREIGN KEY` and has likely passed the `CHECK` constraint in `employee`.
- The `FOREIGN KEY` maintains the relationship necessary for the many-to-one pattern.
---
**Diagrams Explanation**
In the diagram, there are two tables representing the `Employee` and `Dependent` entities:
1. **Employee Table:**
- `SSN`: Format DDD-DD-DDDD
- `F_name`: String
- `M_init`: Character
- `L_Name`: String
- `Address`: String
- `Salary`: Money
- `Sex`: M/F
2. **Dependent Table:**
- `Name`: String
- `Sex`: M/F
- `Birth_date`: Date
- `Relationship`: String
These tables are linked with a relational arrow indicating `Dependent_of` a specific `Employee`, showing the weak entity relationship based on the primary and foreign key constraints discussed in the SQL code.

Transcribed Image Text:### A One-to-One Example
In this example, we define the structure of a one-to-one relationship between a "person" table and a "driver_license" table.
#### SQL Table Creation
The SQL code to create the "person" table is as follows:
```sql
CREATE TABLE person (
person_id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
person_name VARCHAR(100),
license INT,
CONSTRAINT pr_license_uq UNIQUE(license),
CONSTRAINT pr_license_fl FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES driver_license(license_id)
);
```
#### Explanation
- `person_id`: This is an integer that serves as the primary key for the "person" table, uniquely identifying each person.
- `person_name`: This is a variable character string with a maximum length of 100, used for storing the name of the person.
- `license`: An integer that stores the license number associated with a person.
- The constraint `pr_license_uq` enforces that each license number is unique within the "person" table.
- The constraint `pr_license_fl` sets up a foreign key relationship, connecting the "person" table to the "driver_license" table using `license_id`.
#### Diagrams
The image displays two tables and their relationships:
1. **Person Table:**
- Fields:
- `Person_id` (Integer)
- `Person_name` (String)
2. **Driver_license Table:**
- Fields:
- `License_id` (Integer)
- `State` (String)
- `Expiration_date` (Date)
The relationship between the tables is shown through a line labeled "-License_of-" connecting the `license` field in the "person" table to the `license_id` in the "driver_license" table, illustrating the one-to-one relationship between a person and their driver license.
