I know how to convert an entity set, relationship, etc. into the relational model but what i wonder is that what should we do when an entire diagram is given? How do we convert it? Do we create a separate table for each relationship, and for each entity set? For example, if we are given the following ER diagram:
My solution to this is like the following:
//this part includes the purchaser relationship and policies entity set
CREATE TABLE Policies (
policyid INTEGER,
cost REAL,
ssn CHAR(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (policyid).
FOREIGN KEY (ssn) REFERENCES Employees,
ON DELETE CASCADE)
//this part includes the dependents weak entity set and beneficiary relationship
