Please provide the dataset so that the E-R diagram can be made
with all the neccessary question , i am attaching as sample E-R
diagram for reference,
- Identify the entities. The first step in
making an ERD is to identify all of the entities you will use. An
entity is nothing more than a rectangle with a description of
something that your system stores information about. This could be
a customer, a manager, an invoice, a schedule, etc. Draw a
rectangle for each entity you can think of on your page. Keep them
spaced out a bit.
- Identify relationships. Look at two entities,
are they related? If so draw a solid line connecting the two
entities.
- Describe the relationship. How are the
entities related? Draw an action diamond between the two entities
on the line you just added. In the diamond write a brief
description of how they are related.
- Add attributes. Any key attributes of entities
should be added using oval-shaped symbols.
- Complete the diagram. Continue to connect the
entities with lines, and adding diamonds to describe each
relationship until all relationships have been described. Each of
your entities may not have any relationships, some may have
multiple relationships. That is okay.
Tips for Effective ER Diagrams
- Make sure that each entity only appears once per diagram.
- Name every entity, relationship, and attribute on your
diagram.
- Examine relationships between entities closely. Are they
necessary? Are there any relationships missing? Eliminate any
redundant relationships. Don't connect relationships to each
other.
- Use colors to highlight important portions of your
diagram.
