Research Cardinality in ERDs:
-
Start by understanding what cardinality means in the context of Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs).
-
Cardinality defines the relationship between two entities in terms of how many instances of one entity can or must be associated with instances of another entity.
-
Cardinality is essential in database design as it ensures accurate modeling of real-world relationships between data tables.
-
-
Types of Cardinality:
-
Research and describe the different types of cardinality commonly used in ERDs:
-
One-to-One (1:1): One instance of an entity is related to only one instance of another entity.
-
One-to-Many (1): One instance of an entity is related to many instances of another entity.
-
Many-to-Many (M): Many instances of one entity can be related to many instances of another entity.
-
-
Include examples of how each type of cardinality is represented in an ER diagram.
-
-
ER Diagram Example:
-
Illustrate how cardinality is represented in an Entity-Relationship Diagram.
-
Provide examples or create your own simple diagram that shows entities and their relationships using cardinality.
- use your activity #8
-
-
Tools:
-
use an online tool Lucidchart,
-
Take a screenshot of your diagram to include in your documentation.
-
-
Document Your Research:
-
Write about your research on cardinality in ERDs. Explain each type of cardinality with examples and include your ER diagram.
-
-
Publish Your Work:
-
Publish your findings, examples, and diagrams on Hashnode.com or Medium.com.
-
Include screenshots of your ERD diagrams along with your explanations
