1 The Entity-Relationship Model Chapter 2 Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 1 Overview of Database Design Requirements Analysis What data are to be stored in the enterprise? What are the required applications? What are the most important operations? Conceptual database design What are the entities and relationships in the enterprise? What information about these entities and relationships should we store in the database? What are the integrity constraints or business rules that hold? ER model to represent conceptual schema Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 2
2 Overview of Database Design Logical database design What data model should be used to implement the DBS? What DBMS to use? Map the conceptual schema (ER diagram) to a database schema of the chosen data model. Physical database design What are the typical workloads of the DBS? Build appropriate indexes to support efficient query processing. What redesign of the logical database schema is necessary from the point of view of efficient implementation? Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 3 The Entity-Relationship Model Short: ER model Basic Components Entities Attributes Relationships Constraints Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 4
3 ER Model Basics Entity: Real-world object distinguishable from other objects. An entity is described (in DB) using a set of attributes. Entity Set: A collection of similar entities. E.g., all employees. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 5 ER Model Basics (contd.) All entities in an entity set have the same set of attributes. (At least, for the moment!) Each entity set has a key, i.e. a minimal set of attributes to uniquely identify an entity of this set. Each attribute has a domain, i.e. a set of all possible attribute values. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 6
4 ER Model Basics (Contd.) Relationship: Association among two or more entities. E.g., Attishoo works in Pharmacy department. Relationship Set: Collection of similar relationships among two or more entity sets. d Works_In Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 7 ER Model Basics (Contd.) An n-ary relationship set R relates n entity sets E1... En. Each relationship in R involves entities e1 E1,..., en En. Same entity set could participate in different relationship sets, or in different roles in same set. subordinate supervisor Reports_To Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 8
5 Cardinalities of Relationships An employee can work in many departments; a dept can have many employees. Works_In d Each dept has at most one manager, who may manage several (many) departments. Manages d Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 9 Cardinalities of Relationships The different types of relationships, from a cardinalities point of view: 1 to 1 1 to many Many to 1 Many to many 1-to-1 1-to Many Many-to-1 Many-to-Many Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 10
6 Key Constraints A key constraint on a relationship set specifies that the marked entity set participates in at most one relationship of this relationship set. d Manages Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 11 Participation Constraints A participation constraint on a relationship set specifies that the marked entity set participates in at least one relationship of this relationship set. The participation of in Manages is said to be total (vs. partial). d Manages Works_In Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 12
7 Weak Entities A weak entity exists only in the context of another (owner) entity. The weak entity can be identified uniquely only by considering the primary key of the owner and its own partial key. Owner entity set and weak entity set must participate in a one-tomany relationship set (one owner, many weak entities). Weak entity set must have total participation in this identifying relationship set. cost age Policy Dependents Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 13 ISA Hierarchies hourly_wages hours_worked ISA contractid Class (Entity set) hierarchies Hourly_Emps A ISA B: every A entity is also considered to be a B entity. A specializes B, B generalizes A. A is the subclass, B is the superclass. Contract_Emps A subclass inherits the attributes of a superclass, and may define additional attributes. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 14
8 ISA Hierarchies (contd.) Overlap constraints: Can Joe be an Hourly_Emps as well as a Contract_Emps entity? (Hourly_Emps OVERLAPS Contract_Emps) Covering constraints: Does every entity have to be either an Hourly_Emps or a Contract_Emps entity? Hourly_Emps AND Contract_Emps COVER Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 15 ISA Hierarchies (contd.) Reasons for using ISA: Do not have to redefine all the attributes. To add descriptive attributes specific to a subclass. To identify entitities that participate in a relationship as precisely as possible. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 16
9 Aggregation Used when we have to model a relationship involving relationships. pid Monitors until started_on d p Projects Sponsors Aggregation allows us to treat a relationship set as an entity set for purposes of participation in (other) relationships. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 17 Aggregation (contd.) Monitors until Aggregation vs. ternary relationship pid started_on p Projects Sponsors d Monitors is a distinct relationship, with a descriptive attribute. Also, can say that each sponsorship is monitored by at most one employee. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 18
10 Conceptual Design Using the ER Model Design choices Should a concept be modeled as an entity or an attribute? Should a concept be modeled as an entity or a relationship? Identifying relationships: Binary or ternary? Aggregation? Constraints A of data semantics can (and should) be captured. But some constraints cannot be captured in ER diagrams. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 19 Entity vs. Attribute Should address be an attribute of or an entity (connected to by a relationship)? Depends upon the use we want to make of address information, and the semantics of the data: If we have several addresses per employee, address must be an entity ( attributes cannot be set-valued). If the structure (city, street, etc.) is important, e.g., we want to retrieve employees in a given city, address must be modeled as an entity ( attribute values are atomic). Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 20
11 Entity vs. Attribute (Contd.) Works_In2 does not allow an employee to work in the same department for two or more periods (why?). from to Works_In2 d We want to record several values of the descriptive attributes for each instance of this relationship. from Works_In3 Duration to d Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 21 Entity vs. Relationship d d Manages2 This ER diagram OK if a manager gets a separate discretionary for each dept. But what if a manager gets a discretionary that covers all managed depts? Redundancy of d, which is stored for each dept managed by the manager. Misleading: suggests d tied to managed dept. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 22
12 Entity vs. Relationship (contd.) What about this diagram? d d Manages2 The following ER diagram is more appropriate and avoids the above problems! apptnum d Manages3 Mgr_Appts d Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 23 Binary vs. Ternary Relationships p age Covers Dependents Policies policyid cost If each policy is owned by just 1 employee: Key constraint on Policies would mean policy can only cover 1 dependent! Bad design! Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 24
13 Binary vs. Ternary Relationships (contd.) This diagram is a better design. What are the additional constraints in the 2nd diagram? Purchaser p age Dependents Beneficiary Policies policyid cost Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 25 Binary vs. Ternary Relationships (Contd.) Previous example illustrated a case when two binary relationships were better than one ternary relationship. An example in the other direction: a ternary relation Contracts relates entity sets Parts, and Suppliers, and has descriptive attribute qty. No combination of binary relationships is an adequate substitute: S can-supply P, D needs P, and D deals-with S does not imply that D has agreed to buy P from S. How do we record qty? Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 26
14 Summary Conceptual design follows requirements analysis, Yields a high-level description of data to be stored. ER model popular for conceptual design Constructs are expressive, close to the way people think about their applications. Basic constructs: entities, relationships, and attributes (of entities and relationships). Some additional constructs: weak entities, ISA hierarchies, and aggregation. Note: There are many variations on ER model. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 27 Summary (contd.) Several kinds of integrity constraints can be expressed in the ER model: key constraints, participation constraints, and overlap/covering constraints for ISA hierarchies. Some foreign key constraints are also implicit in the definition of a relationship set. Some constraints (notably, functional dependencies) cannot be expressed in the ER model. Constraints play an important role in determining the best database design for an enterprise. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 28
15 Summary (contd.) ER design is subjective. There are often many ways to model a given scenario! Analyzing alternatives can be tricky, especially for a large enterprise. ER diagrams are later mapped to schema of the chosen data model, e.g. relational model. Ensuring good database design: resulting relational schema should be analyzed and refined further. FD information and normalization techniques are especially useful. Database Management Systems, R. Ramakrishnan and J. Gehrke 29
