Shorthand representation of the relational database structure:

  • The shorthand representation is used to represent the database table in an easier and an understandable way by using primary keys.
  • The step wise process for representing a shorthand representation of a database structure is as follows:
    • First, the Table Name is written down.
    • Using paranthesis, list down all the columns or fields in the table within the paranthesis.
    • From the shorthand representation, data such as primary keys can be identified.
    • In this kind of representation, bold or underline data is used to represent a Primary key.

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD):

Entity relationship diagram is basically a picture or snapshot about the business system. It means that the information stored and created is represented by this diagram.

  • Entities may represent the physical object, event, or concept.
  • An attribute is a property of an entity.
  • Relationship denotes the link between the entities.

Methods (Ch6) - Review 1. (The MyRoot method) Below is a manual implementation of the Math.sqrt() method in Java. There are two methods, method #1 which calculates the square root for positive integers, and method #2, which calculates the square root of positive doubles (also works for integers). public class SquareRoot { public static void main(String[] args) { } // implement a loop of your choice here // Method that calculates the square root of integer variables public static double myRoot(int number) { double root; root=number/2; double root old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; } while (Math.abs(root_old-root)>1.8E-6); return root; } // Method that calculates the square root of double variables public static double myRoot(double number) { double root; root number/2; double root_old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; while (Math.abs (root_old-root)>1.0E-6); return root; } } Program-it-Yourself: In the main method, create a program that…
