❒ Summative Feedback: ❒ Resubmission Feedback:
-The main objectives of database design in DBMS are to produce logical and physical designs models of the
proposed database system.
- An entity relationship diagram (ERD), also known as an entity relationship model, is a graphical
representation that depicts relationships among people, objects, places, concepts or events within an information
technology (IT) system. (What is Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)? - Definition from WhatIs.com, 2021)
- My ERD includes 6 entity: notification, category, subject infomation, resource subject, learning resources and
resource category
4. Explanation
Entity Relationship Diagram, also known as ERD, ER Diagram or ER model, is a type of structural diagram
for use in database design. An ERD contains different symbols and connectors that visualize two important
information: The major entities within the system scope, and the inter-relationships among these entities.
(What is Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)?, 2021)
- My ERD includes 6 entity: notification, category, subject infomation, resource subject, learning resources and
resource category. And each entity has its own attributes.
-Category entity includes 8 attributes are categoryid, categoryname, cdesciption where StdID is primary key and
categotyid is foreign key of notification entity.
- Entity notification includes attributes are notificationid, ntitle, ncontent, nposter,npostingdate and categoryid
where notificationid is primary key.
-Subject infomation entity includes attributes are subjectid, subjectname, sdescription,sductument where
subjectid is primaty key:
-Resource category entity includes attributes are resourcename, rdescription where resourccename is primary
key.
-Learning resources entity includes 8 attributes are resourceid, resourcename, rcategory, rcontent, rfile ang rpath
where resourcename is primary key and categotyid is foreign key of recource category entity.
- Resource subject entity includes 2 attributes are subjectid and resourceid. Both of these attributes are
primary keys. subjectid foreign key of sybject infomation entity and resouceid foreign key of learning
resource entity.
5. Physical Design
Definition
- Physical database design is the process of transforming a data model into the physical data structure
of a particular database management system.
- Physical database design translates the logical data model into a set of SQL statements that define
the database. For relational database systems, it is relatively easy to translate from a logical data
model into a physical database.
