- The "type" of the variable is insufficient for a complete and accurate definition; further features are required. Different characteristics and types of information are associated with each variable. Give an example of how this concept may be used to characterise any existing variable.arrow_forwardIn a discussion spanning three pages, clarify the differences between properties and variables.arrow_forwardThe "type" of a variable does not provide sufficient information to fully understand its characteristics. The information and characteristics of each variable are unique and separate from one another. Please provide an example of a variable that you believe could be described using this concept.arrow_forward
- A variable's definition must include its "type" and "extra characteristics" as well as its name. To clarify, all variables have non-data type-specific traits. Explain how to correctly describe any variable, and we'll be forever thankful.arrow_forwardAll of a variable's properties would be listed in the definition.

STEP 1: Background It is very important that you understand the connections among entities, attributes, and relationships. This section has defined each of these terms for you. Typically, entities are described by their attributes, and they are related to other entities. For example, if "student name" is the entity, then age, gender, country of origin, marital status, and other demographic data are the attributes (characteristics) of that particular student. That student is also related to other entities such as financial information, major, and course information. STEP 2: Activity An entity-relationship model is one of the most challenging aspects of designing a database because you have to (1) understand the rules that govern how processes work and (2) be able to define and describe these rules in a picture. This section has provided you with the necessary tools to draw a basic ER model. Imagine the…arrow_forward
