1-Mapping of Strong Entity Set
• A strong entity set reduces to a relational schema schema with the same
attributes.
– Composite Attributes: Use only their
• simple, component of composite attributes

• Convert the following ER diagram into
relational schema
ename
eid
eloc
emp dept
Relational schema Employee
eid ename eloc dept
1-Mapping of Strong Entity Set
• Multivalued Attribute:
– For each multi-valued attribute A in strong entity set E creates a
separate relation or table R with A as an attribute and primary key of
E as foreign key in R

2-Mapping of Weak Entity Set
• For each weak entity set W with owner entity
type E, create a separate relation or table R
with all the attributes of W along with primary
key of E as foreign key taken from the owner
entity E.
• Primary key of R is composed of the
discriminator and all the remaining attributes
of the weak entity plus the primary key of the
owner entity as foreign key of R on which it is
existent dependent.

3) Mapping a binary 1 : 1 relationship
• For each binary 1:1 relationship type R in the ER
schema, identify participating entity type S and
T of R.
• Add Primary key of one participating relation as
the foreign key of the other participating
relation
– If only one participating type is total participation
then primary key of the parital participation side
becomes the foreign key of the total participation
side.

4) Mapping a binary 1 : N relationship
• For each binary 1:N relationship type R in the
ER schema, identify participating entity type S
at N side.
• Include the primary key of T(entity type at 1
side) as the foreign key of S(manyside).
• Include the descriptive attribute of R in the
table S.

5) Mapping a binary M : N relationship
• For each binary M:N relationship type R with
participating entity type S and T, creates a new
relation or table R1 to represent R.
• Include primary key of S and T as the foreign
key of R1.
• Primary key of R1 is the combination of
primary key of R and S.
• Include the descriptive attribute of R in the
table R1.
