Question
Chapter 4, Problem 11RQ
Program Plan Intro
Entity:
In ER model, the term “entity” refers to the actual entity set. It is represented by a rectangle box which contains the entity name.
- There is no any difference among various types of entities such as a weak entity and a composite entity. But Crows Foot use different relation types as strong or weak.
- A composite entity is stated that one or more PK attributes is also a Foreign Key (FK).

Students have asked these similar questions
How is a relationship between entities indicated in an ERD? Give an example using the Crow’s Foot notation.
Why are weak and strong entity sets different?
Can you please help me in how I can turn the Entity Relationship diagram into a Logical Database Diagram?
I know I need to list out all the entities, but I am not sure how to draw the relation. If you would please write it step by step for me so I can practice, that would be much appreciated.
