Step 2: Weak Entity Types
ER-TO-RELATIONAL MAPPING
MARCH 1, 2018

i. For each weak entity type, create a
corresponding relation that includes all the
simple attributes
ii. Add as a foreign key all of the primary key
attribute(s) in the entity corresponding to
the owner entity type

Foreign Key
i. Choose one relation as S, the other T
 Better if S has total participation (reduces
number of NULL values)
ii. Add to S all the simple attributes of the
relationship
iii. Add as a foreign key in S the primary key
attributes of T

to-N
ER-TO-RELATIONAL MAPPING

13
i. Choose the S relation as the type at the
N-side of the relationship, other is T
ii. Add as a foreign key to S all of the
primary key attribute(s) of T
Another approach: create a relationship
relation

Attributes
ER-TO-RELATIONAL MAPPING

16
i. Create a new relation S
ii. Add as foreign keys the primary keys of
the corresponding relation
iii. Add the attribute to S (if composite, the
simple attributes); the combination of all
attributes in S forms the primary key

Step 7: Specialization/Generalization
ER-TO-RELATIONAL MAPPING
MARCH 1, 2018
19
A. Multiple relations – subclass and superclass
 Usually works (assumes unique id at parent)
B. Multiple relations – subclass only
 Should only be used for disjoint
C. Single relation with one type attribute
 Only for disjoint, can result in many NULLs
D. Single relation with multiple type attributes
 Better for overlapping, could be disjoint
