Case Study  Consider an appointment system in a clinic, where a patient can request to make an appointment to see a certain doctor at a specific time. Additionally, a doctor can use that system to record the timings where he would be available to see his patients.  Upon reserving an appointment, the receptionist has to make sure that the doctor speaks a language that the patient knows.  If the patient requests a specific device to be in the clinic, the receptionist should make sure that this device is available in the clinic to be reserved  Also, the receptionist should print information of the reserved appointment including the date, time, and clinic location 4/08/2009CPSC203-DesignSkills- Week2- Lab24

Exercise Construct an ER Diagram for an online travel agency system. A new user is required to create a new profile with a username and password. After logging in the system, the user inquires about different flights. The user can perform booking, changing, and canceling flight reservations. Tips: - You have three main tables; users, flights, and booked-flight - Think what information should be included in each table and what the relationships among them should be - Expand your ER diagram to contain information about planes, airlines, and preferred meals 4/08/2009CPSC203-DesignSkills- Week2- Lab29
