B. Lab 1 of 7 : Introduction to MS Visio and MS Access
C. Lab Overview--Scenario/Summary
TCOs:
1. Given a business situation in which managers require information
from a database, determine, analyze and classify that information so
that reports can be designed to meet the requirements.

2. Given a situation containing entities, business rules, and data
requirements, create the conceptual model of the database using a
database modeling tool.
Scenario:
You have been asked to create two conceptual database models using
MS Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is
to have you gain familiarity with the various modeling tools needed to
create a conceptual model (entity relationship diagram) of a database.
You will create two conceptual models.
You will then open an existing Access database to explore database
objects and to experiment with simple data manipulation using filters
and sorts and to begin elementary work with relationships.
Upon completing this lab, you will be able to
1. relying on detailed instructions, create a simple conceptual model for
a two-table database using MS Visio;
2. use experience gained in creating the first model to construct a
similar conceptual model without the instructions; and
3. download an existing Microsoft Access database file. Open the
database; find and identify different database objects in this database.

Preparation
1. Using Citrix for MS Visio and/or MS Access
a. If you are using the Citrix remote lab, follow the login instructions
located in the iLab tab in Course Home.
2. Start Visio
a. Open Microsoft Office 2010, Visio application, or

b. if you are using Citrix, click on Microsoft Office 2010 Applications
folder to start Visio.
Lab:
Step 1: Identify and create the entities
a. Open a new blank Database Model Diagram. If you need assitance
with this, refer to the Week 1 Lab Instructions. Be sure that all options
are set consistent to those used in previous weeks so that you generate
your model in Crows Foot notation.
b. Save the file as YourName_Lab4A.vsd.
c. Based on the information provided below, create the necessary
entities for the Catering by Caren database. If you need assistance to
create the entities, refer to Labs from Weeks 1 and 2.
Catering by Caren
Catering by Caren is an upscale catering company focusing on full,
four-course gourmet dinners for groups from two to forty. Owner/chef
James Caren is wonderful in the kitchen, but has become overwhelmed
with the business side of running his rapidly growing operation. You
have been hired as his business manager, and you’ve decided to
computerize information on the engagements.
Chef Caren is excited about this project and has provided you with the
following information. He doesn’t know databases nearly as well as he
knows haute cuisine, so the data requirements are not well-organized,
nor is data in its smallest parts. He has noted whether the menu items
are appetizers, salads, main courses, or desserts. He has also provided a
list of the information he keeps on each customer and each booking.

By talking with Chef Caren, you feel you have enough information on
the company’s business rules to understand the relationships between
the data. Chef Caren is particularly concerned that you capture the
exact requirements for the menu for each engagement. For instance, if
20 people are to be served, he wants to know how many want the
vegetarian main course, the Kosher meals, and so forth.
At this point, you are going to use the following information to put
together an entity relationship diagram that you will then use with Chef
Caren to verify that you have accurately captured the requirements.

NOTE: You may find it helpful to consider the business rules in Step 4
in creating your entities.
Step 2: Identify and create attributes (fields)
NOTE: Because you are creating your diagram in Visio, it will be
easier to create the attributes prior to the relationships.

a. Refer to the data requirements from Step 1 of this lab.
Ifyouhavenotalready

created the attributes (fields) in your ERD, add them at this time.
b. Save your file and continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Identify and designate the keys
a. Detemine whether an attribute exists in each table that will satisfy the
requirements of a primary key. If no appropriate field exists, create a
field for this purpose.
b. Check the Primary Key property for the field(s) in each table using
the Visio column properties.
Step 4: Identify the relationships
a. Using the information below on the business rules for Catering by
Caren, create the relationships between the entities created in Steps 1
and 2.
b. Notice that, where Many-to-Many relationships exist, you will need
to create associative entities. If you are not sure of the process to create
relationships in Visio, refer to the Labs for Weeks 1 and 2. You created
an associative entity in Week 2.
c. For any associative entities created, enter necessary fields. You may
also need to designate or create a primary key. NOTE: If the
relationship is mandatory (must have at least one…) you will go to the
relationship Miscellaneous property and change it from Zero to Many to
One to Many.

Step 1: Identify the entities and relationships.
a. Over the past four weeks, you have created ERDs based on
information
provided. This week, you will complete the ERD being sure to normalize
it to
3NF (third normal form). Normalization is the systematic application of
rules
designed to eliminate redundancy from the database. Data in previous
weeks
was, to some extent, normalized for you. This week, it is not. An
abbreviated
list of the data requirements follows.

c. Save the Word file as YourName_Lab5A_ERMatrix.
d. An ER Matrix helps define both the entities and the relationships
between the
entities. Using the partially completed ER Matrix below as a guide,
complete
the matrix.
Hint: You should end up with four entities.
1. List each entity both across and down.

2. Determine whether a relationship exists between entities and define
that
relationship with a verb phrase. (NOTE: The entity with the greatest
number of related entities is usually the center of the ER diagram.)
3. Identify minimum (Optional or Mandatory) and maximum (only one,
or one
or more).Page 3 of 5

e. Save the completed matrix to submit as part of your lab.
Step 2: Create the initial ERD based on the matrix.
a. Open a new blank Database Model Diagram in Visio. If you need
assitance with

this, refer to the Week 1 Lab Instructions. Be sure that all options are set
consistent to those used in previous weeks so that you generate your
model in
Crow’s Foot notation.
b. One of the issues in denormalized data is that it can result in many-to-
many
relationships that are not compatible with the relational database. Visio
does
not allow creation of a many-to-many relationship because of this
incompatibility. Therefore, for any many-to-many relationships in your
data,
you will need to create two one-to-many relationships. See the example
below:Page 4 of 5
c. Based on the information from Step 1, create the initial ERD for the
College
Scheduling database including the many-to-many relationships. If you
need
assistance to create the entities, refer to labs from Weeks 1 and 2.
d. Assign the primary keys and attributes from the data requirements to
the
proper entities.
e. Save the file as YourName_Lab5A.vsd.
Step 3: Normalize the database

a. While the initial ERD is accurate, if you design a database without
deviating
from it, you will encounter problems. For example, a course is offered
many
times. If you use the course code, for example BIS 245, as the primary
key,
you will only be able to list the course once. There are three possible
solutions.
1. Assign another primary key, such as an auto-number field, so that
the course can be listed multiple times. However, this is not
acceptable because it introduces redundancy rather than reducing it.
2. Use a composite primary key consisting of the Course Code and the
Section code. If you create a unique section code (EXAMPLE:
YearTerm_Section or 2010SpringA_A), then you can list the course
repeatedly. Again, this introduces redundancy, and is not an
acceptable solution.
3. Split the table to create two tables. TostayconsistentwithDeVry
terminology, create a second Section table. To ensure that a course is
not entered twice, you might modify the Section code to include the
course: BIS 245_2010SpringA_A. By consistently using this format,
you should not be able to duplicate the section, and can avoid a
complicated composite key. However, as the Section table will serve

as an associative entity, it is acceptable to borrow the primary keys of
theparenttables.
b. Open the Visio file from Step 2, and add a new page.
Changethepagetabto
read Revised. Revise the initial ERD based on the following information.
1. A Course may exist without being offered. It exists in the catalog.
Courses are scheduled for a term and given a section. It is the
schedule course (Section) that students enroll in, that are scheduled
in rooms and assigned instructors.
2. A Student can exist without being enrolled in a course.
3. An Instructor can exist without being assigned to teach a course.
4. A Room can exist without being scheduled for a course.
