Transcribed Image Text:### Entity-Relationship Cardinality Ratios
An entity-relationship table helps in understanding the various relationships between different entities within a database. Below is the detailed table that outlines some common entities and their cardinality ratios.
| | Entity 1 | Cardinality Ratio | Entity 2 |
|---|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------|
| 1 | Student | 1-many: A student may have more than one social security card (legally with the same unique social security number), and every social security number belongs to a unique student | Social security card|
| 2 | Student | | Teacher |
| 3 | Classroom | | Wall |
| 4 | Country | | Current President |
| 5 | Course | | TextBook |
| 6 | Item (that can be found in an order) | | Order |
| 7 | Student | | Class |
| 8 | Class | | Instructor |
| 9 | Instructor | | Office |
|10 | E-bay Auction item | | E-bay bid |
#### Explanation:
1. **Student - Social Security Card:** A student can have multiple social security cards, but each social security number uniquely identifies one student.
2. **Student - Teacher:** This entry indicates a relationship but doesn't specify the cardinality. Generally, a student can have multiple teachers, and a teacher can have multiple students.
3. **Classroom - Wall:** This relationship associates a classroom with a wall, indicating that walls are integral parts of classrooms.
4. **Country - Current President:** Each country is associated with one current president at a time.
5. **Course - TextBook:** A course may have several textbooks, and a textbook can be used in multiple courses.
6. **Item (in an order) - Order:** Items are components of orders. An order can contain multiple items.
7. **Student - Class:** This indicates that students attend classes.
8. **Class - Instructor:** Classes are taught by instructors.
9. **Instructor - Office:** Instructors are associated with offices.
10. **E-bay Auction item - E-bay bid:** An E-bay auction item can have multiple bids associated with it.
This table helps in visualizing the relationships and understanding database design better.

- DATABASE MANAGEMENT ABC Walk-in Clinic is located in a large metropolitan city in Canada. The clinic staff consists of ten doctors, six nurses, five office secretaries, two administrative assistants and one manager. First time Patients have to visit the clinic personally and fill a registration form that contains their personal and health related information. An office secretary would then enter that information in the computer based information system. Patients may become a permanent patient (at any time) for one of the doctors at the clinic by filling up necessary forms (they are called enrolled patients) or they may choose to come walk-in for every visit. (They usually called walk-in patients) Enrolled Patients may book their appointments online or by calling, the office and one of the secretaries would then book their appointment with their doctor on a particular day/time. Any booked appointment may be cancelled up to 24 hours in advance after which the clinic charges a…arrow_forwardCustomer ID 123 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Items of transaction {A,B,E,D}{A,C,D,E}{D,E,A} {E,B,A,C} {B,B,E} {A,E,B} {E,D,E,C} {D,C} {B,D,E} {C,D,E,A} (a) Use the table shown to compute the support for the itemsets {B,D} and {B,C,E}.
