关于由ER模型转换为关系模型的方法和步骤

1.    For each strong entity E:

o        Create a new table.

o        Include as its columns, all the simple attributes and simple components of the composite attributes of E.

o        Identify the primary key and the alternate keys. Do not include any multi-valued attribute as a key. If the only unique field of an entity is a multi-valued attribute, introduce an artificial primary key field.

2.    For each weak entity W that is associated with only one 1:1 identifying owner relationship:

o        Identify the table T of the owner entity type.

o        Include as columns of T, all the simple attributes and simple components of the composite attributes of W.

3.    For each weak entity W that is associated with a 1:N or M:N identifying relationship, or participates in more than one relationship:
