What is Entity relationship model(E-R model)[DBMS-1]
Entity relationship model(E-R model)
-Entity relationship model consists of the entities and relationship.
-It was developed to facility database designed by allowing specification of the enterprise schema.
-the enterprise schema consists of the overall logical structure of the database.
-The E-R model is very useful in mapping the meaning integration of the recall world enterprise on the conceptual schema.
-The E-R data model is three basic option :
_Entity set
_relationship set
_Attributes
-It is use for the conceptual design of the database application.
Entity:
An object which has a some physical existence is called entity.
Relationship:
A relationship is a associate among several entity.
Entity set are relationship set
Entity set:
-A group of similar types of entities is called is called entity sets.
-Let T be a entity set e1,e2,e3..........en.
e1,e2,e3,,,,,,,,en are the same types of entity.
-Or a entity set is a set of entity of the same type that can share the some properties.
-The individual entity constitute a set are said to be the extension of the entity set.
-ex the set of all the persons who are customer at given bank that can define as extension of the entity set customer.
-All individual bank customer are the extension of the entity set customer.
-The entity set does not need disjoint .
(Entity set of customer and loan)
-The individual entity constitute a set are said to be the extension of the entity set.
-ex the set of all the persons who are customer at given bank that can define as extension of the entity set customer.
-All individual bank customer are the extension of the entity set customer.
-The entity set does not need disjoint .
(Entity set of customer and loan)
Relationship sets:
-A relationship is a associate among several entity.
-A group of relationship is known as relationship sets.
-ex a relationship that associate customer with the loan L17 and this is specific relationship that is customer with loan L17.
-We can have more than one relationship that can be define the overall same entity.
-A relationship set is a set of relationship of the same type.
-Formally it is mathematically origination no N>2 entity set.
-It is a entity set e1,e2,e3........en
than the relationship R is a subset of e1,e2,e3.....en.
Attributes:
-Properties or characteristics of the entity is called attributes.
attributes are the descriptive properties
proceed by the each member of the entity set.
-ex the possible attributes of the customer entity are the customer id ,customer city ,loan.
-there are the 4 types of attribute:
-single value and multi value attributes
-simple and composite attributes
-derived attributes
-null attributes
