Converting ER diagrams to Relational Models Part-1



Converting ER diagrams to relational models (table schemas)

 One-one relationship

Model each entity as a separate relation. Add the primary key of one relation as a foreign key (a copy of the primary key from the first relation which may or may not be a part of the primary key) to the other relation.



The above ER diagram can be modeled as a relational model or table schemas as follows:



Department:

name | budget | secretary | famName | givenName    
 pk                                                   fk
(primary key)                         (foreign key)


Employee:

famName | givenName | address | salary                                                                    
               pk
      (primary key)
