    ER Diagram displays the relationship between entity sets in a database through entities, attributes, and relationships. There are three main types of relationships in an ER diagram: 1) one-to-one, where one instance of an entity is associated with another entity; 2) one-to-many, where one instance of an entity can be associated with multiple instances of another; and 3) many-to-one, where multiple instances of an entity can be associated with one instance of another entity.

    ER Diagram

    ER Diagram stands for Entity Relationship Diagram, also known as ERD is a diagram that
    displays the relationship of entity sets stored in a database. In other words, EtR diagrams help to
    explain the logical structure of databases. ER diagrams are created based on three basic concepts:
    entities, attributes and relationships.
    1. One to one relationship with ER Diagram:
     When only one instance of an entity is associated with the relationship, it is marked as
    '1:1'. Only one instance of each entity should be associated with the relationship. It
    depicts one-to-one relationship. For example- a student has 1 Contact Info and one
    Contact Info is associated with one Student only.
    Here, we can reduce relationship (has) table and we can link Student and Contact Info
    table using foreign key as shown in below;

    Table name / Entity : Student


    Std_id First_name Last_name DOB
    101 Geeta Thapa 2000 April
    10
    102 Ram Chetri 1995 May
    7

    Table Name / Entity : Contact Info

    Contact_id Address Phone Std_id


    1 Kalanki 98765433224 102
    2 Thapathali 08767654433 101

    In this example, the key field in each table, Student ID, is designed to contain unique values. In the
    Students table, the Student ID field is the primary key; in the Contact Info table, the Student ID
    field is a foreign key.
    This relationship returns related records when the value in the Student ID field in the Contact Info
    table is the same as the Student ID field in the Students table.

    2. One to Many relationship with ER diagram:


    When more than one instance of an entity is associated with a relationship, it is marked as
    '1: M'. Only one instance of entity on the left and more than one instance of an entity on
    the right can be associated with the relationship. It depicts one-to-many relationship. For
    example- Single customer can place different orders but different orders can be placed by
    single customer.
    Here, we reduce relationship (has) table and we can link Customer and Order table using
    foreign key as shown in below;

    Table name/ Entity : Customer


    Customer_id First_name Last-name Phone Address
    202 Sita Pokharel 9841565203 Sitapaila
    203 Mina Adhikari 9849683198 Balaju

    Table name/ Entity : Order


    Order_id Order_items Rate Customer-id
    13 Momo 180 203
    14 Chowmein 150 203

    In this example the primary key field in the Customers table, Customer ID, is designed to contain
    unique values. The foreign key field in the Orders table, Customer ID, is designed to allow
    multiple instances of the same value.
    This relationship returns related records when the value in the Customer ID field in the Orders
    table is the same as the value in the Customer ID field in the Customers table.

    3. Many to one relationship with ER diagram:


    When more than one instance of entity is associated with the relationship, it is marked as
    'N:1'. More than one instance of an entity on the left and only one instance of an entity on
    the right can be associated with the relationship. It depicts many-to-one relationship. For
    example- many students can study in a single college but a student cannot study
    in many colleges at the same time.

    Table name / Entity: Student


    Student_id First_name Last_name Address Phone DOB College_id
    401 Rina Shrestha Ktm 01428858 200 1011
    May 21
    402 Hari Sapkota Kalanki 984156377 1988 1011
    7 January
    3

    Table name / Entity: College


    College_id College_name Address Faculty
    1011 ABC Sitapaila HM
    1043 ERW Balaju IT

    In this example the primary key field in the College table, College ID, is designed to contain
    unique values. The foreign key field in the Student table, Student ID, is designed to allow multiple
    instances of the same value.
    This relationship returns related records when the value in the College ID field in the Student table
    is the same as the value in the College ID field in the College table.
