Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 5 INTRODUCTION Logical DB design: process of transforming the conceptual data model (i.e., ERD) into a logical data model (i.e., models in this chap) Conceptual data modeling: getting the right requirements >>model the biz logic correctly biz rules Logical DB design: getting the requirements right >>correctly transform the biz logic for implementation An E-R data model is not a relational data model need normalization [2 nd half of Ch 4] ERD is developed for the purpose of understanding biz rules, not structuring data for sound DB processing The last part is the goal of logical DB design

Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6RELATION A relation is a named, two-dimensional table of data. A table consists of rows (records) and columns (attributes or fields). Requirements for a table to qualify as a relation: 1. It must have a unique name. 2. Every attribute value must be atomic 1. (not multivalued, not composite). 3. Every row must be unique (can’t have two rows with exactly the same values for all their fields). 4. Attributes (columns) in tables must have unique names. 5. The order of the columns must be irrelevant. 6. The order of the rows must be irrelevant. NOTE: all relations are in 1 st Normal form (Definition P.177) Are all tables a relation?
7
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 7 CORRESPONDENCE WITH E-R MODEL 1. Relations (tables) correspond with entity types and with many-to-many relationship types (______ entity) 2. Columns correspond with attributes. 3. Rows correspond with entity instances and with many-to-many relationship instances. We can express the structure of a relation by a shorthand notation (“text description”): RELATION (attribute1, attribute2, attribute3, …) Example: PRODUCT( … ) exercise NOTE: The word relation (in relational database) is NOT to be confused with the word relationship (in E-R model): …

Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 9 KEY FIELDS Keys are special fields that serve two main purposes: Primary keys are unique identifiers of the relation in question. - how we can guarantee that all rows are unique. Foreign keys are identifiers that enable a dependent relation (on the many side of a relationship) to refer to its parent relation (on the one side of the relationship). an attribute in a relation (table) of a database that serves as the primary key of another relation in the same database Keys can be simple (a single field) or composite (more than one field). Keys usually are used as indexes to speed up the response to user queries (Ch 5).

12
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 12 SCHEMAS The structure of the DB is described through schemas Two common methods for expressing schema: 1. Short text statements (example: Slide 13) RELATION (attribute1, attribute2, attribute3, …) EMPLOYEE (Emp_ID, LastName, FirstName, …) 2. Graphical representation (example: Slide 14) Each relation represented by a rectangle containing attributes RELATION Attr1 Attr5 Attr4Attr3 Attr2
13
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 13 SHORT TEXT STATEMENT OF PVFC Lines/curves with arrowhead are used to indicate the referencing relationship (referential integrity – Slides #13 and 17) between foreign key and primary key. Graphical representation: Primary key Foreign key
14
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 14 Primary Key Foreign Key (implements 1:N relationship between customer and order) Combined, these are a composite primary key (uniquely identifies the order line)… Individually, they are foreign key s (implement M:N relationship between order and product) Fig 4-3 Schema for four relations (graphical representation) Will be req’d the most for HW The curvy arrows here indicate relationships (PK – FK pairs)
15
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 15 INTEGRITY CONSTRAINTS Domain Constraints Allowable values for an attribute. See Table 4-1, P160 Other examples: next slide Entity Integrity No primary key attribute may be null Referential integrity Primary key – Foreign key relationship ( Slide #17) ( Slide #17)
16
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 16 Domain definitions enforce domain integrity constraints
17
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 17 INTEGRITY CONSTRAINTS – REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY Rule states that any foreign key value (in the relation of the many side) MUST match a primary key value (in the relation of the one side). (Or the foreign key can be null) For example: Delete Rules Restrict–don’t allow delete of “parent” side if related rows exist in “child” / “dependent” side Cascade–automatically delete “dependent” side rows that correspond with the “parent” side row to be deleted Set-to-Null–set the foreign key in the dependent side to null if deleting from the parent side not allowed for weak entities Example using IS 312 DB

24
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 24 TRANSFORMING EER DIAGRAMS INTO RELATIONS Mapping Regular Entities to Relations – handling attributes: 1. Simple attributes: E-R attributes map directly onto the relation (Fig 4-8, next slide) 2. Composite attributes: Use only their simple, component attributes (Figure 4-9) 3. Multivalued attribute: Becomes a separate relation with a foreign key taken from the superior entity (Figure 4-10)

Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 33 Figure 4-12 Example of mapping a 1:M relationship a) Relationship between customers and orders Note the mandatory one b) Mapping the relationship Again, no null value in the foreign key…this is because of the mandatory minimum cardinality Foreign key If there’s no field name/table name, can you still tell the table on 1-side from the table on M-side?
34
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall If M:N relationship exists between entity types A and B, we create a new relation C, include as foreign keys in C the primary keys for A and B, these attributes, together, become the primary key of C

Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 38 Figure 4-14 Example of mapping a binary 1:1 relationship a) In charge relationship (1:1) Often in 1:1 relationships, one direction is optional
39
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall In a 1:1 relationship, the association in one direction is often optional one, while the association in the other direction is mandatory one think about STUDENT and PARKING_PERMIT The primary key of one of the relations is included as a foreign key in the other relation The primary key of the Mandatory side The foreign key of the optional side
40
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 40 b) Resulting relations Figure 4-14 Example of mapping a binary 1:1 relationship (cont.) Foreign key goes in the relation on the optional side, matching the primary key on the mandatory side Arrow points from _______ side to ____ side, from ______ key to ____ key Practice the same for the STUDENT and PARKING_PERMIT relationship
41
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 41 TRANSFORMING EER DIAGRAMS INTO RELATIONS (CONT.) Mapping Associative Entities Three relations will be created: one for each of the original entities, and a third for the associative entity. Two situations: 1. Identifier Not Assigned Default primary key for the association relation is composed of the primary keys of the two entities (as in M:N relationship) 2. Identifier Assigned (, when- ) It is natural and familiar to end-users Default identifier may not be unique

46
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 46 TRANSFORMING EER DIAGRAMS INTO RELATIONS (CONT.) Mapping Unary Relationships One-to-Many: Recursive foreign key in the same relation Many-to-Many: Two relations: One for the entity type One for an associative relation in which the primary key has two attributes, both taken from the primary key of the entity
47

Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 51 TRANSFORMING EER DIAGRAMS INTO RELATIONS (CONT.) Mapping Ternary (and n-ary) Relationships One relation for each entity, and one for the associative entity Associative entity has foreign keys to each of the regular entities in the relationship

53
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 53 b) Mapping the ternary relationship PATIENT TREATMENT Remember that the primary key MUST be unique Figure 4-19 Mapping a ternary relationship (cont.) This is why treatment date and time are included in the composite primary key But this makes a cumbersome key… It would be better to create a surrogate key like Treatment# An associative entity
54
Chapter 4 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 54 TRANSFORMING EER DIAGRAMS INTO RELATIONS (CONT.) Mapping Supertype/Subtype Relationships One relation for supertype and for each subtype Supertype attributes (including identifier and subtype discriminator) go into supertype relation Subtype attributes go into each subtype; primary key of supertype relation also becomes primary key of subtype relation 1:1 relationship established between supertype and each subtype, with supertype as primary table The last three slides – 54~56 – wait till we learn Chap 3
