E/R diagrams to <strong>Relational</strong> Schema<br />

E/R model and the relational model are logical representations<br />

of real world enterprises<br />

An E/R diagram can be converted to a collection of tables<br />

For each entity set and relationship set in E/R diagram we can<br />

have a corresponding relational table with the same name as<br />

entity set / relationship set<br />

Each table will have multiple columns whose names are obtained<br />

from the attributes of entity types/relationship types<br />
