Draw an E-R diagram for the description below.
Suppose that you are asked to model a database including all pharmaceutical companies, their drugs, and all pharmacies. Each pharmaceutical company is identified by its name and has a phone number. For each drug, the trade name (e.g., Acetaminophen) and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by only one pharmaceutical company, and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products of that company. If a pharmaceutical company stops production, we do not need to keep track of its products any longer. Each pharmacy has an identifier name, address, and phone number. Each pharmacy sells several drugs. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.
A relational database cannot facilitate many-to-many relationships due to its inherent design, which is based on the concept of tables with rows and columns. This design limits the ability to represent complex relationships between entities. For instance, if we consider a scenario where a student can enrol in multiple courses, and a course can have multiple students, a relational database cannot directly represent this many-to-many relationship. Instead, a workaround is required, such as creating a third table to act as a bridge between the two tables, which can be time-consuming and complex to manage.
Are there any fundamental considerations to be made in the architecture of a physical database?

- Consider a MOVIE database in which data is recorded about the movie industry. The data requirements are summarized as follows: Movies are identified by their title and year of release. They have a length in minutes. They also have a studio that produces the movie and are classified under one type (such as horror, action, drama, etc). Movies are directed by one or more directors and have one or more actors. Actors are identified by their names and date of birth and act in one or more movies. Each actor has a role in the movie. Directors are also identified by their names and date of birth. Each director has a rank value and direct one or more movies. Studios are identified by their names and have an address. The address contains building number, street name, and city name. They produce one or more movies. Design an Entity-Relationship diagram for the movie database.arrow_forwardPart 3 5. Database design often involves decisions about the storage of attributes. For example a Telephone Number can be stored as a one attribute or split into three attributes (one for each of the three hyphen-delineated groups of numbers in a Telephone Number (XXX)-XXX-XXXX, I.e (123)-456-7890). However, Telephone Number is usually stored in one attribute. The decision is usually based on how the database will be used. This exercise asks you to think about specific situations where dividing the Telephone Number is useful. List and describe the different situations, give examples.arrow_forwardThis kind of interaction is impossible in a relational database, as seen by the preceding instances.arrow_forward
- Suppose you are given the following business rules to form the basis for a database design. The database must enable the manager of a company dinner club to mail invitations to the club's members, to plan the meals, to keep track of who attends the dinners, and so on. Each dinner serves many members, and each member may attend many dinners. A member receives many invitations, and each invitation is mailed to many members. A dinner is based on a single entree, but an entree may be used as the basis for many dinners. For example, a dinner may be composed of a fish entree, rice, and corn, or the dinner may be composed of a fish entree, a baked potato, and string beans. Because the manager is not a database expert, the first attempt at creating the database uses the structure shown in Table P6.7.a. Given the table structure illustrated in Table P6.7, write the relational schema and draw its dependency diagram. Label all transitive and/or partial dependencies.

Assume there are three Mountain High RV dealership locations in a region that shares one relational database management system (RDBMS). The basic data fields for each RV include stock number (a common name for SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)), vehicle identification number (VIN), condition (new or used), type (or class), make, model, year, color and price. Identify the possible candidate keys, the likely primary key, probably foreign keys, and potential secondary keys for the Vehicle table. Identify other tables the Vehicle table might need to form a relationship (or link with) to support Mountain High operations.arrow_forward
