 Describe relationships between two objects
 Draw dependency diagram
 Define your table
 Define the ER model for this database. More specifically define:
i. The entity sets. For each entity set specify: attributes, primary key
ii. The relationships set. For each entity set specify: descriptive attributes,
primary key
iii. The ER diagram with: Key constraints, and participation constraints

4.2 QUERIES
Queries are a fundamental means of accessing and displaying data from tables. Queries can
access a single table or multiple tables.
