  3. Figure P3-2 Initial TruckCo ERD 1 M M 1 BASE locates VEHICLE references TYPE (0,N) (1,1) (1,1) (0,N) (0,N) 1 houses M (1,1) 1 1 1 M M is a DRIVER DRIV_LICENSE EMPLOYEE (1,1) (0,1) (1,1) (1,N) (1,1) 1 (0,N) 1 (0,N) (1,1) has M M (0,N) M DRIV_ENDORSE LICENSE M (1,1) DEPENDENT M (1,1) (1,1) 1 (0,N) 1 1 SCHOOL ENDORSEMENT (0,N) (0,N) Note that this ERD allows the TruckCo management to track from which school the license or the endorsementwas earned, on what date each license and endorsement was earned, and so on. This ERD assumes that a drivercan have more than one license and more than one endorsement. A driver must have at least one license, but mayor may not have one or more endorsements.

  4. Figure P3.3d Initial FlyHigh ERD 1 1 M M 1 CUSTOMER RENTAL AIRCRAFT (0,N) (1,1) (1,1) (0,N) 1 (0,N) (1,1) M references M (1,1) (0,N) 1 M 1 QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATION MODEL (1,1) (0,N) Problem: This design does not include the ability to track payments on account, not does it enableFlyhigh’s management to track payment types -- cash, check, credit card, and payments on account.This design, while correct, is incomplete. (The design requires a TRANSACTION entity.)

  5. Figure P3.3e Revised FlyHigh ERD Note: A customer may make multiple payments to pay off a charged rental activity. Therefore, a rent number may be referenced more than once in the TRANSACTION entity. However, each of the TRANSACTION entries references only one CUSTOMER and one RENTAL record. M TRANSACTION makes (1,1) M (0,1) 1 (0,N) 1 (1,N) 1 1 M M 1 CUSTOMER AIRCRAFT RENTAL (0,N) (1,1) (1,1) (0,N) 1 (0,N) (1,1) M references M (1,1) (0,N) 1 M 1 QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATION MODEL (1,1) (0,N) Note: The TRANSACTION entity is used to track all payments, including any payments on account. To simplify the queries that will be used to report the current customer account balances, a derived attribute, perhaps named CUST_BALANCE , may be included in the CUSTOMER entity. The TRANSACTION entity would include such attributes as the date, the type (debit or credit), the amount, the customer reference, and the rental reference. The design is easily expanded to keep track of all balances for individual rental charges to help determine when “late” interest is appropriate.

  6. Figure P3.3f Table 3.3 Sample FlyHigh TRANSACTION Records Some sample TRANSACTION records are shown in Table 3.3. If you want to keep track of all balances by the rental number, add a column named TRANS_BALANCE. For example, customer number 123 charged a $375.46 rental to his or her account on 18-May-2002 and paid $250.00 on that rental on 20-May-2002, thus leaving a balance for that particular rental transaction of $125.46. Such a “running balance” is desirable, but it takes some work to design the application to perform this task. Table 3.3 Sample TRANSACTION Records

  7. Figure P3.4 The FlyHigh Relational Schema Note: When the rental time has been calculated, that time must be used to update the appropriatefields in the AIRCRAFT and CUSTOMER tables. To make sure that the update is made only once,the RENTAL table contains a field, named RENT_UPDATED, that will be used to control the updateprocess. Here is an example of an attribute (field) that is used to enable an application process, ratherthan to describe the entity. The RENT_CHG_HOUR is copied from the MODEL entity to ensure that the rental transactions are historically accurate. (Rental charges per hour can change over time!)

  8. Figure P3.5d TruckCo Design Option 1 All drivers and mechanics licenses and endorsements are storedin the LICENSE table. The QUALIFICATION table is used tostore licenses and endorsements for all mechanics and drivers, as well as the date on which each qualification was earned and the school (number) from which the qualification was earned. 1 LICENSE (1,N) (1,1) 1 1 1 M is a DRIVER SCHOOL_LICENSE EMPLOYEE M (0,1) (1,1) 1 (1,N) (1,1) 1 (0,1) M (1,1) (0,N) M 1 1 QUALIFICATION SCHOOL (1,1) (0,N) M (1,1) 1 (1,N) 1 becomes a MECHANIC (1,1) Each mechanic and driver must have at least one license. Therefore, QUALIFICATION is mandatory to both DRIVER and MECHANIC. Not all approved schools are necessarilyrepresented. For example, there may be 15 approved schools, but TruckCo’s drivers andmechanics have graduated from only a few of these schools. Therefore, the entity named SCHOOL_LICENSE is optional to SCHOOL.

  9. Figure P3.5e TruckCo Option 2 Option 1: Each maintenance log opening and closing generates a separate record in the MECH_LOG table. This table records the date, the identity of the mechanic, and the log action (open or close) for each MAINT_LOG record. 1 1 M M 1 MECHANIC MECH_LOG MAINT_LOG (0,N) (1,1) (1,1) (0,N) Option 2: Each maintenance log opening generates a record in MAINT_LOG. The record contains a nullclosing date and a null for the mechanic who closes the log … until the log is closed. Requires using synonyms. 1 1 MECHANIC (0,N) (0,N) opens closes M (1,1) (1,1) M MAINT_LOG (Note that Access generates a “shadow” virtual table to indicate the use of multiple relationships.)

  12. Figure P3.6b PumpCo Database Design Option PRODUCT 1 (1,N) contains M (1,1) 1 1 PART (0,N) (0,N) M M ASSEMBLY (1,1) (1,1) The M:N recursive relationship “PART includes PART” is implemented through the composite entityASSEMBLY. By implementing such a design, the end user can track what components are found ineach multi-component part. The design can easily be modified to track serialized parts that are foundin each product.

  19. Problem 3.9b1 The Chen AC_Museum ERD, part 2 Note: The ASSIGNMENT entity would include foreign keys to four other entities. (AIRCRAFT, SQUADRON, WING, and OTHER.) The reference to the OTHER entity is N/A (not applicable) in most of the assignments. Therefore, to avoid the use of nulls in the ASSIGNMENT entity, the OTHER entity will include a dummy record in which the PK value is N/A. Note: The OTHER entity would be used to record assignment to an Air Force storage facility, a museum, a disposal unit (to scrap the aircraft), a flight research facility, or an Air Force / Air Guard facility in which the aircraft would be displayed as a so-called gate guard. AIRCRAFT 1 (0,N) (1,1) M 1 M 1 M SQUADRON OTHER ASSIGNMENT (1,1) (0,N) (0,N) (1,1) (0,N) 1 (1,1) M Note: Optionalities are often used to make initial data entry easier. For example, an aircraft must be assigned to a wing and a squadron. However, making ASSIGNMENT optional to AIRCRAFT will make it much easier for the end user to enter an aircraft record if that aircraft’s assignment is not yet known. The same argument may be made for several of the other optionalities shown here. M (1,1) (0,N) 1 WING SQUA_COMM (0,N) 1 (1,1) M 1 (0,N) M (1,1) 1 M PERSONNEL WING_COMM (0,N) (1,1)
