Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD):
Entity relationship diagram is a basically a picture or snapshot about the business system. It means that the information stored and created is represented by this diagram.
- Entities may represent the physical object, event, or concept.
- An attribute is a property of an entity.
- Relationship denotes the link between the entities.
- If an independent child entity is present in a relationship then it is called a non-identifying relationship.
- If a dependent child entity is present in a relationship then it is called a identifying relationship.

Draw an entity-relationship diagram, including minimum and maximum cardinality, for the
following: The system stores information about two things: cars and owners. A car has attributes
for make, model, and year. The owner has attributes for name and address. Assume that a car
must be owned by one owner and an owner can own many cars, but an owner might not own
any cars (perhaps she just sold them all, but you still want a record of her in the system).
Use ER Assistant to draw your diagram.
Draw a self-referencing entity type for the Employee entity type for which an employee is supervised by a maximum of one other employee and doesn’t have to be supervised by any employee at all. Conversely, an employee can supervise zero or many other employees. The attributes of the Employee entity are as follows: EmpNo (primary key), EmpName, EmpAddress.
Consider the scenario described by the statement "A customer can make many payments, but each payment is made by only one customer." Use this scenario as the basis for an entity relationship diagram (ERD) representation.

- Consider a model of an airport with planes, models of planes, a test of planes, and technicians. Draw an ER diagram to represent these entities and the following attributes.Planes have a unique registration number. Airplane Models are each identified by a model number (e.g. DC-80), and each has a capacity and a weight. A number of technicians work at the airport. You need to store for each the name, phone number, address, and salary. The airport has a number of tests that are used regularly to ensure that airplanes aresafe. Each test has a unique FAA number, a name, and a maximum possible score.Extend your ER diagram with relationships to represent the following information.(a) Each airplane is of one specific model.(b) Each technician is an expert on one or more plane models.
