Step 1: Mapping of Regular
Entity Types
• For each regular entity type,
create a relation R that
includes all the simple
attributes of E
• Called entity relations
• Each tuple represents an
entity instance
Step 2: Mapping of Weak Entity
Types
• For each weak entity type, create a relation R and include all simple attributes of
the entity type as attributes of R
• Include primary key attribute of owner as foreign key attributes of R
Step 3: Mapping of Binary 1:1
Relationship Types
• For each binary 1:1 relationship type
• Identify relations that correspond to entity types
participating in R
• Possible approaches:
• Foreign key approach
• Merged relationship approach
• Crossreference or relationship relation approach
Foreign key approach
Merged relationship approach
Crossreference or relationship relation approach
• For each regular binary 1:N relationship type
Step 4: Mapping • Identify relation that represents participating
of Binary 1:N entity type at N-side of relationship type
• Include primary key of other entity type as foreign
