1. E-R DIAGRAMS TO RELATIONAL SCHEMA

2. Three Rules
For each entity create a table; include the attributes of the entity as fields of the table; be sure to designate a primary key.
For each (1:M) relation take the PK from the one-side table and embed it in the many-side table and designate it as a foreign key.
For each (M:N) relation create a new table. The PK’s of the two table involved in the relation should be made fields of this table and their combination may be the PK of the new table. In addition each of those PK’s are FK’s pointing at the corresponding tables from which they came. Appropriate other attributes may be included in this table.
