Chapter 2, Problem 2.20RQ
For the Manages relationship in Figure 2-12a, describe one or more situations that would result in different cardinalities on the two ends of this unary relationship. Based on your description for this example, do you think it is always clear simply from an E-R diagram what the business rule is that results in certain cardinalities? Justify your answer.

draw an E-R diagram that indicates the entity sets and their attributes. Identify and label significant relationship sets between pairs of entities, the degree of relationship sets and the cardinality and participation constraints.
b. Draw an Entity Relationship diagram from each of the following descriptions. Include the attributes, primary keys (underlines) and the relationships in the diagram (like relationship in Access).
i. Each of the department has many employees assigned to it, but each employee works for only one department.
if. A customer can rent many videotapes from the video store. Each of the videotapes can be rented to many customers.

Be certain to indicate identifiers and cardinality constraints. You may state any assumptions that you make. Nationwide City Express (NCE) prides itself on having up-to-date information on the processing and current location of each shipped item. To do this, NCE relies on a company-wide information system. Shipped items are the heart of the NCE product tracking information system. Shipped items can be characterized by item number (unique), weight, dimensions, insurance amount, destination, and final delivery date. Shipped items are received into the NCE system at a single retail center. Retail centers are characterized by their type, uniqueID, and address. Shipped items make their way to their destination via one or more standard NCE transportation events (i.e., flights, truck deliveries). These transportation events are characterized by a unique…arrow_forward
- Create an ER DIAGRAM that shows relationship between eachother and post the picture please . An Inventory entity can be associated with zero or many Beer entities. A Beer entity can be associated with one and only one Inventory entity. An Inventory entity can be associated with zero or one Brewery entity. A Brewery entity can be associated with zero or many Inventory entities. An Employee entity can be associated with one and only one Brewery entity. A Brewery entity can be associated with zero or many Employee entities. An Employee entity can be associated with zero or many Order entities. An Order entity can be associated with one and only one Employee entity. These business rules assume that a brewery company has an inventory of beers, which are brewed by one or more breweries and supplied by one or more suppliers. The breweries employ one or more employees and can receive orders for their beers.arrow_forwardFor each entity, there needs to be an indication of whether it is one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many relationship.

(In a business environment, each invoice represents a sales transaction. Given the "commission set" label, one might infer that the sales rep earns a commission on each sale for which an invoice is written) Each invoice is written by a single sales representative. A customer can generate many invoices. (Each time a customer makes a purchase of one or more items, and invoice is generated) Each invoice is generated by a single customer. Each invoice includes one or more invoice lines. (Each item purchased is recorded in an invoice line) Each invoice line is associated with one (and only one) invoice. Each invoice line records a single product. Each product can be recorded in many invoice lines. (If the inventory contains 100 hammers, each one may be sold and, therefore, each of those 100 hammers may at some point be recorded in an…arrow_forward

What is the definition of alternative specialization?What is my representation on the Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram? Please provide more context or information about the example and diagram you are referring to. What subject or topic is this related to?arrow_forwardDraw an Entity relationship diagram (ER) for a university according to the following rules: ‐ For each student the university needs to keep track of: first name, last name, student id, address, phone no and their major. ‐ The student id is identical for each ‐ Each course has a number, name and credit. The course number is unique for each course. ‐ Each department has a name, code and The code is unique for each department. ‐ Each course may has one or more sections where each section is belong to only one ‐ A department offers one or many 7-‐ Some courses have perquisite courses. 8-‐ Each student could register in one or more courses.

Your design should be at the logical level – include primary and foreign key fields and remember to remove any many-to-many relationships. Tip: Pay attention to the mark allocation shown below. Sheep farm feed supplier business rules: • All entities must have surrogate primary keys. • A contact person represents one or more suppliers, and each supplier has exactly one contact person. • A supplier supplies many feed products, and every feed product can be supplied by many suppliers. • Each feed product belongs to a specific feed type, and many feed products can have the same feed type.arrow_forward
