If the multiplicity of above relationships were m-to-n, the entity set becomes weak and the key ssNo of customers will be needed as part of the composite key of the entity set. In c&d, we convert attributes phones and addresses to entity sets. Since entity sets often become relations in relational design, we must consider more efficient alternatives. Instead of querying multiple tables where key values are duplicated, we can also modify attributes: (i) Phones attribute can be converted into HomePhone, OfficePhone and CellPhone. (ii) A multivalued attribute such as alias can be kept as an attribute where a single column can be used in relational design i.e. concatenate all values. SQL allows a query "like '%Junius%'" to search the multiple values in a column alias. 文案大全 实用文档 4.1.3 4.1.4 a) 文案大全 实用文档 b) c) 文案大全 实用文档 The relationship "played" between Teams and Players is similar to relationship "plays" between Teams and Players. 4.1.5 4.1.6 The information about children can be ascertained from motherOf and fatherOf relationships.
