- The distinction between a weak and a strong entity set is best explained here.arrow_forwardWhat are the characteristics of a strong entity set as opposed to a poor one?arrow_forwardDraw an Entity Relationship Diagram for all of those below. (a simple one) Each lecturer is identified by a unique number, name and phone. A lecturer teaches several courses, and for each course there is a unique code and title (not necessarily unique). There might be several lecturers in a course. Each course requires one or more text books. Each text book is used in at least one course. A text book is identified by a unique ISBN, and its title, authors, publisher and year of publication are known. Each course has a unique code. The bank has many customers. Every customer has at least one account with the bank. An account may be shared by several customers. Each customer has a unique number, type, the opening date and the balance. A flight carries many passengers on a specific airplane. Each airplane has a unique number, while each flight has a code (unique), destination and origin.
