Objective
- This assignment has been designed so that you understand the concept of transformation of Entity Relationship Diagram into Relational Schema.
Assignment
Assumptions:
- A person can have many addresses and an address can belong to many people
- A physician is responsible for many patients, but a patient can only have one responsible physician
- A physician makes many visits, but a visit can only be made by one physician
- An out-patient may be visited many times, but a particular visit is only to one patient at a time
- A resident may be assigned a bed. A bed does not have to be assigned to a resident (may be empty)
- A nurse may be assigned to many care centers, and a care center may have many nurses assigned to it.
- A nurse may be in charge of many care centers, but only one nurse can be in charge of a particular care center.
- A facility is located at a certain address. No two facilities can be located at the same address.
- A person may be an employee, volunteer, patient, and physician
- An employee either be a staff, technician, or nurse, but not any two or three at the same time.
- A patient is either an "Out Patient" or resident, but not both at the same time.
- A facility can either be a laboratory or care center, but not both at the same time.
- A technician/volunteer may have many skills, a particular skill can be had by many technicians/volunteers.
A technician may be assigned to many laboratories, a particular laboratory may have many technicians assigned to it.
Given the above scenario transform the given ER-Diagram into a relational schema and, show relationships between the tables and identify the constraints existing between entities.
