The document presents an introduction to the entity-relationship (E-R) model, developed by Peter Chen in 1976, detailing its structure, features, and types of attributes. It emphasizes the model's advantages such as conceptual simplicity, visual representation, and its effective communication tool for database design, while noting its limitations like the lack of industry standards. The E-R model serves as a framework for good database design, integrating multiple applications while being easy to understand.

3. The entity –relationship model is a high level
conceptual data model developed by peter chen
in 1976.
It describe the structure of database and
association retrieval and updation transactions
on the database.
It is based on a view of a real world that
consists of set of objects called entities and
relationships .

4.  It is top-down approach to database design.
 The E-R model is used for the purpose of good
database design by the database developer so to
use that data model in various DBMS.
 It is simple and easy to understand.
 It provides an easily understood pictorial map
for the database design.
 It offers an effective framework for integrating
multiple applications.

6.  Simple attribute:- An attribute that consist of a
single atomic value. It can not be further
subdivided. For ex:- age, salary etc.
 Composite attribute :- An attribute that can be
further divided into sub parts. For ex:- address
Simple
attribute
Address
H.no area city

7.  SINGLE-VALUED ATTRIBUTE:- A single
valued attribute can have only a single value. It
can be simple or composite attribute. For ex:-
’date of birth’ and ‘age’ etc.
COMPOSITE ATTRIBUTE
SIMPLE ATTRIBUTE
DOB
DATE MONTH YEAR
AGE

8.  MULTI- VALUED ATTRIBUTE:- Multi- valued
attribute can have multiple values. For ex:-
Person may have multiple phone numbers,
multiple email-id etc.
 STORED ATTRIBUTE:- An attribute that
supplies a value to related attribute. For ex:-
date of birth.
Multi-value attribute

9.  DERIVED ATTRIBUTE:- An attribute that’s
value is derived from a stored attribute. For ex:-
age is derived from stored attribute date of
birth.
Derived attribute

10.  Conceptual simplicity
 Visual representation
 Effective communication tool
 Integrated with relational database model.

11.  POPULAR FOR HIGH –LEVEL DESIGN
