The document provides instructions for creating an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using PowerDesigner software. It describes how to create entities, define attributes, set primary and foreign keys, and establish relationships between entities. It then provides two exercises involving designing ERDs for a hospital database and a nonprofit organization database. The ERDs are to model the entities, attributes, and relationships between physicians and patients, and persons such as employees, volunteers, and donors.

LAB 7 – ERD

A. Tutorial.
- Create ERD model for conceptual design
A conceptual data model (CDM) helps you analyze the conceptual structure of an
information system, to identify the principal entities to be represented, their attributes,
and the relationships between them. A CDM is more abstract than a logical (LDM) or
physical (PDM) data model.
A CDM allows you to:
- Represent the organization of data in a graphic format to create Entity Relationship
Diagrams (ERD).
- Verify the validity of data design.
- Generate a Logical Data Model (LDM), a Physical Data Model (PDM) or an Object-
Oriented Model (OOM), which specifies an object representation of the CDM using
the UML standard.

I. Design conceptual model


1. Open Power Design program
Select File àNew à choose conceptual design model.
Model name: choose the name for your model.

3. To rename and add more attribute to an entity, we make a double-click on that entity or
right-click and choose Properties.

In PowerDesigner, primary key is symbolled by ‘pi’ and foreign key is symbolled by ‘ai’.

5. Set relationship between entities.

B. Exercise
Draw an ERD for the following situation.
1. A hospital has a large number of registered physicians. Attributes of PHYSICIAN
include Physician_ID (the identifier) and Specialty.
- Patients are admitted to the hospital by physicians. Attributes of PATIENT include
Patient_ID (the identifier) and Patient_Name. Any patient who is admitted must have
exactly one admitting physician.
- A physician may optionally admit any number of patients. Once admitted, a given
patient must be treated by at least one physician. A particular physician may treat any
number of patients, or may not treat any patients. Whenever a patient is treated by a
physician, the hospital wishes to record the details of Treatment_Detail include Date,
Time, and Results.

2. A nonprofit organization depends on a number of different types of persons for its


successful operation. The organization is interested in the following attributes for all of
these persons: SSN, Name, Address, City/State/Zip, and Telephone. Three types of
persons are of greatest interest: employees, volunteers, and donors.
- Employees only have a Date_Hired attribute
- Volunteers only have a Skill attribute.
- Donors only have relationship (named Donates) with an Item entity type. A donor must
have donated one or more items, and an item may have no donors, or one or more
donors.
- There are persons other than employees, volunteers, and donors who are of interest of
the organization, so that a person need not belong to any of these three groups. On the
other hand, at a given time a person may belong to tow or more of these groups (e.g.,
employee and donor).
