Entity relationship (er) modeling
This document discusses entity relationship (ER) modeling and how ER diagrams (ERDs) are used to represent the main components of a conceptual database, including entities, relationships, and attributes. It covers key aspects of ERDs such as connectivity, cardinality, and how to handle many-to-many relationships. The document also notes that database design involves reconciling conflicting goals through compromises.

Overview of Entity Relationship (ER) Modeling and its components. Key learning objectives outlined.
ER model forms the basis of ER diagrams. Discusses entities and their representation as tables.
Attributes of entities defined, including required, optional, composite, and multi-valued attributes.
Details regarding entity relationships, including classifications, strengths, and dependencies.
Describes optional vs. mandatory participation and types of relationships, including unary, binary, and ternary.
Addresses many-to-many relationships using associative entities and the process of developing an ER diagram.
Discusses conflicting goals in database design, necessary compromises, and summarizes the ER model.

- 4. Database Systems, 8th Edition4 Entities • Refers to entity set and not to single entity occurrence • Corresponds to table and not to row in relational environment • In Chen and Crow’s Foot models, entity represented by rectangle with entity’s name • Entity name, a noun, written in capital letters
- 5. Database Systems, 8th Edition5 Attributes • Characteristics of entities • Chen notation: attributes represented by ovals connected to entity rectangle with a line – Each oval contains the name of attribute it represents • Crow’s Foot notation: attributes written in attribute box below entity rectangle Attribute : - ciri-ciri yang terdapat pada entiti

- 7. Database Systems, 8th Edition7 Attributes (continued) • Required attribute: must have a value • Optional attribute: may be left empty • Domain: set of possible values for an attribute – Attributes may share a domain • Identifiers: one or more attributes that uniquely identify each entity instance • Composite identifier: primary key composed of more than one attribute setiap attribute haruslah mempunyai nilai Domain merupakan ruang yang menghad data yang dimasukkan merujuk kepada key (sesuatu yang boleh menerangkan secara unit suatu entiti). Eg: no. matrik

- 11. Database Systems, 8th Edition11 Attributes (continued) • M:N relationships and multivalued attributes should not be implemented – Create several new attributes for each of the original multivalued attributes components – Create new entity composed of original multivalued attributes components • Derived attribute: value may be calculated from other attributes – Need not be physically stored within database

- 14. Database Systems, 8th Edition14 Connectivity and Cardinality • Connectivity – Describes the relationship classification • Cardinality – Expresses minimum and maximum number of entity occurrences associated with one occurrence of related entity • Established by very concise statements known as business rules CONNECTIVITY dab CARDINALITY banyak di tunjuk dalam crow foot model

Database Systems, 8th Edition16 Existence Dependence • Existence dependence – Entity exists in database only when it is associated with another related entity occurrence • Existence independence – Entity can exist apart from one or more related entities – Sometimes such an entity is referred to as a strong or regular entity
- 17. Database Systems, 8th Edition17 Relationship Strength • Weak (non-identifying) relationships – Exists if Primary Key (PK) of related entity does not contain PK component of parent entity • Strong (identifying) relationships – Exists when PK of related entity contains PK component of parent entity
