Program Plan Intro
Shorthand representation of the relational
- 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.
- If an independent child entity is present in a relationship then it is called a non-identifying relationship.
- If a dependent child entity is present in a relationship then it is called a non-identifying relationship.

Indicate the changes (using the shorthand representation) that you would need to make to the original KimTay Pet Supplies database design to support the following requirements.
There is no relationship between customers and sales reps. When a customer places an order, any sales rep can process the order and create the invoice. On the invoice, you need to identify both the customer placing the order and the sales rep responsible for the invoice. Draw an E-R diagram for the new design.

Create a diagram for a database with at least 5 tables. This should show your table names and column names. Show the relationships between
the tables. Write a statement explaining your database design (why did you use the tables that you did).
Create a database in Access based on your diagram. Include all tables in your diagram. Tables should each have a minimum of 5 rows.
Create 5 SQL statements using your database. At least 2 of these should be manipulation statements (insert, update, etc). The others should
be select statements. Explain what your sql statements do and how they would be useful to your database.

- The ______________ model is a simple but highly useful way to organize data into collections of two-dimensional tables called relations.arrow_forwardYou are to design a Hospital database. So before creating the database, your task is to draw the ER diagram based on the following data collected and analyzed: A hospital will have a name, unique id, multiple helpline numbers (one for doctor's appointment, one for ambulance, one for bill information and one for other services' info) and locations. A hospital may have more than one location as it may have different branches and each of the locations will have a building no., street address, road no. and city name. A patient will have a name, unique ID, may have more than one phone number, age, height, weight and symptoms. A patient takes an appointment in a hospital and the appointment date is recorded. A patient may have an attendant. An attendant will have his/her name, contact numbers and relationship with the patient as a record in the database. Due to the covid situation, the hospital authorities will only allow 1 attendant with 1 patient.arrow_forwardAssignment Brief: Some of the most difficult decisions that you face as a database developer are what tables to create and what columns to place in each table, as well as how to relate the tables that you create. Normalization is the process of applying a series of rules to ensure that your database achieves optimal structure. Normal forms are a progression of these rules. Each successive normal form achieves a better database design than the previous form did. Based on your understanding for the various normal form respond to the following problems and provide the optimal answer/solution.

- Indicate the changes you need to make to the BITS database design to support the following situation. The region where clients are located is divided into territories. For each territory, store the territory number (a unique identifier) and territory name. Each consultant is assigned to a single territory. Each client also is assigned to a single territory, but the territory must be the same as the territory to which the client’s consultant is assigned. Could you also please make a diagram that shows me the type of relation between tables? for example, if it lines of the connectiones finishes with a dot or something like that.arrow_forwardThe various database table choices should be discussed when dealing with subtype associations.Discuss the issues that are relevant to the layout you decide to utilize.arrow_forwardStayWell also rents out properties on a weekly basis to students attending summer school in the Seattle area. Design a database to meet the following requirements, using the shorthand representation and a diagram of your choice. For each student renter, list his or her number, first name, middle initial, last name, address, city, state, postal code, telephone number, and e-mail address. For each property, list the office number, property address, city, state, postal code, square footage, number of bedrooms, number of floors, maximum number of persons that can sleep in the unit, and the base weekly rate. For each rental agreement, list the renter number, first name, middle initial, last name, address, city, state, postal code, telephone number, start date of the rental, end date of the rental, and the weekly rental amount. The rental period is one or more weeks.arrow_forward
