Short description:

Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition covers, in an intuitive, way, the database design process, from the inception of a database to effectively mapping the design to a relational model, which can then be implemented in any relational software. Students also learn how to reverse engineer a database from relational mappings.

Long description:

Essential to database design, entity-relationship (ER) diagrams are known for their usefulness in data modeling and mapping out clear database designs. They are also well-known for being difficult to master. With Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagrams, Third Edition, database designers, developers, and students preparing to enter the field can quickly learn the ins and outs of data modeling through ER diagramming.

Building on the success of the bestselling first and second editions, this accessible text includes a new chapter on the relational model and functional dependencies. It also includes expanded chapters on Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EER) diagrams and reverse mapping. It uses cutting-edge case studies and examples to help readers master database development basics and defines ER and EER diagramming in terms of requirements (end user requests) and specifications (designer feedback to those requests), facilitating agile database development. This book

Describes a step-by-step approach for producing an ER diagram and developing a relational database from it

Contains exercises, examples, case studies, bibliographies, and summaries in each chapter

Details the rules for mapping ER diagrams to relational databases

Explains how to reverse engineer a relational database back to an entity-relationship model

Includes grammar for the ER diagrams that can be presented back to the user, facilitating agile database development

The updated exercises and chapter summaries provide the real-world understanding needed to develop ER and EER diagrams, map them to relational databases, and test the resulting relational database. Complete with a wealth of additional exercises and examples throughout, this edition should be a basic component of any database course. Its comprehensive nature and easy-to-navigate structure make it a resource that students and professionals will turn to throughout their careers.

Data, Databases, and the Software Engineering Process. Data and Data Models. The Relational Model and Functional Dependencies. The Basic Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram: A Data Modeling Schema. Beyond the First Entity Diagram. Extending Relationships/Structural Constraints. The Weak Entity. Further Extensions for ER Diagrams with Binary Relationships. Ternary and Higher-Order ER Diagrams. The Enhanced Entity Relationship (EER) Model. Relational Mapping and Reverse Engineering ER/EER Diagrams. A Brief Overview of the Barker/Oracle-Like Model.
