 PHASES OF DATABASE
DESIGN
• Requirements: Requirements are normally come from
your clients/BA team
• Conceptual Design: the ER model is used for the
conceptual design of the database.
• Logical Design: Logical Design represents data in the
form of relational model. ER diagram produced in the
conceptual design phase is used to convert the data into
the Relational Model.
• Physical Design: In physical design, data in relational
model is implemented using a DBMS (mySQL,
PostGreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, …)
 CONCETPTUAL DESIGN
ER MODEL
ER Model is used to model the logical view of the system from data perspective which consists
of these components

Entity Entity
Entity
Type Set
 ENTITY
• An Entity may be an object with a
physical existence – a particular
person, car, house, or employee – or
it may be an object with a
conceptual existence – a company,
a job, or a university course.
• An Entity is an object of Entity Type
and set of all entities is called as
entity set.
• E.g. student_1 and student_2 are
entities having Entity Type Student
and set of all students is called
Entity Set.
 ATTRIBUTE(S)

Attributes are the properties which define the entity type.

Student_ID, Name, Age, Gender, Mobile_No are the attributes

which defines entity type Student.

In ER diagram, attribute is represented by an oval.

 ATTRIBUTE(S) OF
STUDENT ENTITY TYPE

student_id …

student_name

student

major
 An attribute composed of many other attribute is called
as composite attribute. For example, Address attribute of
student Entity type consists of Street, City, State, and
Country.
COMPOSITE In ER diagram, composite attribute is represented by an
ATTRIBUTE oval comprising of ovals.
 MULTIVALUED ATTRIBUTE

An attribute consisting more than one

value for a given entity. For example,
Phone_No (can be more than one for
a given student). In ER diagram,
multivalued attribute is represented
by double oval.
 DERIVED ATTRIBUTE

An attribute which can be derived

from other attributes of the entity type
is known as derived attribute. e.g.;
Age (can be derived from DOB). In
ER diagram, derived attribute is
represented by dashed oval.
 ENTITY TYPE
The complete entity type Student with its attributes can be represented as

 LOGICAL DESIGN
RELATIONAL MODEL
• Each entity types need to be converted to Relational models which can directly be
implemented by any RDBMS
• Relational Model was proposed by E.F. Codd to model data in the form of relations or tables.
• Relational Model represents how data is stored in Relational Databases.

student_id INT Student ID

Create databases in a DBMS based on the

relational models from practice 3-3

Insert data into the created database

Discuss about the the data redundancy in

the created database
DATA REDUNDANCY
 RELATIONSHIP TYPE

A relationship type represents the

association between entity types. For
example,‘Enrolled in’ is a relationship
type that exists between entity type
Student and Course.
In ER diagram, relationship type is
represented by a diamond and
connecting the entities with lines.
 RELATIONSHIP SET

A set of relationships of same type is

known as relationship set. The
following relationship set depicts S1
is enrolled in C2, S2 is enrolled in C1
and S3 is enrolled in C3.
 DEGREE OF A RELATIONSHIP SET

• The number of different entity sets participating in a

relationship set is called as degree of a relationship Unary Binary
set
• Based on the number of linked entity types, we have
4 types of degrees of relationships. Ternary N-ary
 UNARY RELATIONSHIP

• When there is only ONE entity set

participating in a relation, the
relationship is called as unary
relationship.
• For example, one person is married
to only one person.
 BINARY RELATIONSHIP

• When there are TWO entities set

participating in a relation, the
relationship is called as binary
relationship.
• For example, Student is enrolled in
Course.
 TERNARY RELATIONSHIP

When there is a relationship between

three different entities, it is known as
a ternary relationship
