ER-Relational Mapping From VIT

The document outlines a 7 step process for mapping an ER model to a relational schema, including mapping regular entity types, weak entity types, binary 1:1, 1:N and M:N relationship types, multi-valued attributes, and N-ary relationship types to tables, columns, primary keys and foreign keys. Each entity and relationship from the ER model is mapped to database tables and attributes, with primary keys defined based on entity identifiers and foreign keys defined for relationships between tables. The result is a relational schema consisting of tables, columns, domains and keys that can be implemented in a relational database.

Types
Step 1: Mapping of Regular Entity
Types
• Create a relation R that includes all simple
attributes of E
– Each entity became a table
– Each single value attribute becomes column
– Derived attributes are ignored
– Composite attribute represented by components
– Key attribute became the primary key of the table

Relational Schema
• It Consists of relation name and set of
attributes (or) column names.
• Each attribute has an associated with domain
(set of atomic values, i.e. data type).
• Example:
Student { Student name : string
Roll Number : string
Phone Number : integer
Year of admission : integer
Branch : string }
Relational Schema
• Key ( Primary Key )
• Instances
• Examples
