For example, a <strong>Student<\/strong> can enroll in multiple <strong>Courses<\/strong>, which is a <strong>many-to-many<\/strong> relationship represented by the <strong>Enrollment<\/strong> entity. Additionally, a <strong>Professor<\/strong> can teach multiple <strong>Courses<\/strong>, creating a <strong>one-to-many<\/strong> relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Person<\/strong> entity is generalized into <strong>Student<\/strong> and <strong>Professor<\/strong> to represent their shared attributes (e.g., Name, ID), but each has specialized attributes like Enrollment_Date for <strong>Student<\/strong> and Salary for <strong>Professor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For aggregation, the <strong>Enrollment<\/strong> relationship ties together <strong>Student<\/strong>, <strong>Course<\/strong>, and <strong>Professor<\/strong>, indicating that all three entities are involved in the enrollment process. This aggregation provides a logical structure for dealing with complex relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, participation constraints ensure that every <strong>Student<\/strong> must enroll in at least one <strong>Course<\/strong> (total participation), while not all <strong>Professors<\/strong> may teach a course (partial participation). These constraints ensure the integrity of data and clarify how entities interact in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This EERD structure, with its generalization, specialization, and aggregation features, provides a clear representation of a university system\u2019s data model and business rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Database Management System Draw ER diagram for University database with extended features (EERD).
