    The document provides two examples of entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) with business rules: 1. The first example describes the relationships between professors, classes, courses, and rooms - with professors teaching classes, classes coming from courses, and classes being held in rooms. 2. The second example describes invoices, sales reps, vendors, and products - with sales reps writing invoices, vendors selling products, and invoices listing products. It notes that the many-to-many relationship in this example needs to be resolved.

    ERD IN CLASS EXAMPLES

    Business rules (i.e., relationships)

    Example 1

    1. a professor teaches zero, one or many classes and a class is taught by one professor
    2. a course may generate zero, one or many classes and a class comes from one course
    3. a class is held in one room but a room has many classes

    Example 2 (try this at home and if you have questions raise them next class)
    1. an invoice is written by one salesrep but a salesrep writes many invoices
    2. a vendor sells many products but a product is bought from one vendor
    3. an invoice has one or many products and a product is found on zero, one or many
    invoices
    Example-1 Solution (Incomplete)

    The many-to-many relationship is not resolved, therefore the solution is incomplete. In the
    final solution the many-to-many must always be resolved.

    Final Solution (Complete)

    In this example, the many-to-many relationship between student and class is resolved.
