A manufacturing company produces products. The following product information is stored: product name, product ID and quantity on hand. These products are made up of many components. Each component can be supplied by one or more suppliers. The following component information is kept: component ID, name, description, suppliers who supply them, and products in which they are used.   Create an ERD to show how you would track this information. Show entity names (5m), primary keys (5m), attributes for each entity (5m), relationships between the entities (4m) and cardinality (4m). Assumptions A supplier can exist without providing components. A component does not have to be associated with a supplier. A component does not have to be associated with a product. Not all components are used in products. A product cannot exist without components.
Instructions: Create a dimensional model for a particular business process involving gym membership. A customer can sign up for a membership of say one, three, six or twelve months. I want to make it easy to query to identify current members, members who expired in the last month, members who renewed in the last month, those who are pending expiry etc. If I have a basic model with a fact table representing a gym membership say start_date_key end_date_key membership_attribute_key customer_atrribute_key fee with associated dimension table for date, membership attributes such as length, customer attributes and so forth. On a particular day, the active members are those with a start date before the day and an end date after that day. Those who will expire next month are those where the end date is in a particular date range.
