Strategic Exercise 5 - Model Answers

Entity-Relationship Modeling

Exercise 1. Translate the ER diagram from the last page into its corresponding relational
database schema. For each relation schema make explicit the set of attributes, the key, and
the foreign keys.

– Supplier = {supplier no, name, address}

– Article = {article no, short name, number on stock, price}
– Department = {department no, budget}
– Client = {client no, name, address}
– Bill = {bill no, amount}
– Offer = {supplier no, article no, date, price}
[supplier no] ⊆ Supplier[supplier no] and
[article no] ⊆ Article[article no]
– Purchase = {supplier no, article no, department no, date, quantity}
[supplier no] ⊆ Supplier[supplier no] and
[article no] ⊆ Article[article no] and
[department no] ⊆ Department[department no]
– Sale = {client no, article no, department no, bill no, date, price}
[client no] ⊆ Client[client no]
[article no] ⊆ Article[article no]
[department no] ⊆ Department[department no]
[bill no] ⊆ Bill[bill no]

Exercise 2. For the following relational database schema, its corresponding ER diagram is
attached to the last page.
