Depending on the curriculum in your school, your students may have been exposed to
entity-relationship diagrams in a prior course on systems analysis and design, in which
case this chapter will obviously be review. If this is their first exposure to the subject,
then you can present this new material as something that is needed in both systems
analysis and in database design, describing at a high level that these diagrams will
eventually lead to relational database tables.
In any case, the material in this chapter is designed to introduce E-R diagrams as well as
the essential database concepts of unary, binary, and ternary relationships, cardinalities,
intersection data, associative entities, dependent entities, and so forth. The chapter takes
a progressive approach, starting with the easiest cases of simple binary relationships and
building up to the more complicated relationships. Clearly, it is important to lay a solid
foundation in this material before proceeding on to database concepts.
(Note that Exercise 1 in the chapter is based on a high school environment, which, if you
assign it, will tie in nicely to discussing a university environment in class.)
One-to-one binary relationship: students and backpacks.
One-to-many binary relationship: departments and courses.
2-1
Many-to-many binary relationship: students and courses. Intersection data is date taken
and grade received.
One-to-one unary relationship: students are paired with each other so that if one misses
school one day the other gets her assignments (similar to the example in the book.)
One-to-many unary relationship: some professors report to other professors who are
department chairpersons.
Many-to-many unary relationship: professors are chairpersons of committees on which
other professors serve.
Ternary relationship: which professor taught which subject to which student. Intersection
data is date taken and grade received.
3. What is a relationship?
A relationship is the way in which different entities are associated with each other.
4. What is the difference between a unary relationship, a binary relationship, and a ternary
relationship?
The difference is in the number of different entity types involved in the relationship. A
unary relationship is between entities of the same entity type (i.e. there is one entity type
involved.) A binary relationship is between entities of two different entity types. A
ternary relationship is between entities of three different entity types.
The cardinality is the maximum number of entities that can be involved in a relationship.
The modality is the minimum number of entities that can be involved in a relationship.

Chapter 2 Data Modeling
relationship, an occurrence of one entity type is associated with many occurrences of the
other entity type, while each occurrence of the second entity type is associated with
exactly one occurrence of the first entity type. In a many-to-many binary relationship,
an occurrence of one entity type is associated with many occurrences of the other entity
type and vice versa.
9. Can intersection data be placed in the entity box of one of the two entities in the many-
to-many relationship? Explain.
No. This would imply that the intersection data describes one of the two entities. It
does not. It describes the relationship between the two entities.
10. What is an associative entity? How does intersection data relate to an associative
entity?
It is a new entity created from the many-to-many relationship between two existing
entities. Intersection data comprises the attributes of an associative entity.
11. Describe the three cases of unique identifiers for associative entities.
In one case, the unique identifier is the combination of the unique identifiers of the two
entities involved in the relationship. In another case, an additional field or fields, often
of a time-dependent nature, must be added to the combination of the two unique
identifiers. In the third case, the associative entity has its own unique identifying field.
13. Explain how a unary relationship can be described as one-to-one, one-to-many, and
many-to-many if there is only one entity type involved in the relationship.
