Scenario/Summary
This lab will introduce you to the processes involved in defining one of the key components of a data
model; the relationship diagram (RD). In this lab, you will draw a relationship diagram for two of the
steps shown. Keep in mind when you are trying to decide which side of the relationship should be
the "one" side and which should be the "many" that you must first decide which side has the
primary key, or unique identifier. Once you have decided the primary key of the relationship, you
have identified the "one" side of the relationship. Note that for an RD, the foreign key "many" side
of the relationship points to the primary key "one" side. The "one" side should have the arrowhead
point of the connecting line. This is different than an entity/relationship diagram (ERD) that we will
draw next week, where the "many" side has crow's feet.
This will familiarize you with how to set up MS Visio to draw database diagrams. Steps 1 - 3 below
use the Customer, Order, and Employee tables of a simplified Order Entry database. The Customer
table records clients who have placed orders. The Order table contains the basic facts about
customer orders. The Employee table contains facts about employees who take orders. The primary
keys of the tables are CustNo for Customer, EmpNo for Employee, and OrdNo for Order.
The following are the TABLE definitions for the first three tables showing the PRIMARY KEY
constraints.
TABLE Customer has the following attributes
CustNo NUMBER(5)
CustFirstName VARCHAR2(20)
CustLastName VARCHAR2(30)
CustCity VARCHAR2(30)
CustState CHAR(2)
CustZip CHAR(10)
CustBal NUMBER(12,2)

2. CustNo is the PRIMARY KEY
TABLE Employee has the following attributes
EmpNo NUMBER(5)
EmpFirstName VARCHAR2(20)
EmpLastName VARCHAR2(30)
EmpPhone CHAR(15)
EmpNo is the PRIMARY KEY
TABLE Order has the following attributes
OrdNo NUMBER(5)
OrdDate DATE
CustNo NUMBER(5)
EmpNo NUMBER(5)
OrdNo is the PRIMARY KEY
Your task for this lab is to create the required relationship diagram for steps 1 and 2 using Microsoft
Visio. Step 3 will require you to analyze the scenario given and present your own resolution to the
question. Step 4 is an individual assignment that will introduce you to the group project and the
process of identifying entities and attributes. When finished with the lab, you should have a
complete diagram using all 5 entities, a written explanation for #3, and two lists (entities and
attributes) for Step 4.
Deliverables
The deliverable for this lab is a single MS Word document named "Lab1_solution_yourname" with
the diagram for problems 1 and 2, the written answer for the question in Step 3, and the lists of

3. entities and attributes for the Initial Project Exercise (Step 4). You should copy and paste the
diagram from MS Visio into a Word document and use this document for Steps 3 and 4.
L A B S T E P S
STEP 1: Drawing your first ER diagram Title
Identify the foreign key columns in the table structures above and draw a relationship diagram
depicting the relationships between the tables. In the Order table , the CustNo column references
the Customer table and the EmpNo column references the Employee table. For each relationship,
identify the table on the "1" side of the relationship and the table on the "Many" side.
STEP 2: Extending the ER diagram
Extend your relationship diagram from problem 1 by adding two tables (OrdLine and Product). Table
definitions for the table structures and primary keys constraints are shown below. You will need to
identify the FOREIGN KEY(s) to complete this problem. When finished you should have a total of 5
tables represented in your diagram for this problem. To copy and paste the diagram into Word,
select Edit from the menu and then Copy Diagram. Open a Word document and use CTRL-V to
paste the diagram.
TABLE Product has the following attributes
ProdNo CHAR(8)
ProdName VARCHAR2(20)
ProdNo is the PRIMARY KEY
TABLE OrdLine has the following attributes
OrdNo CHAR(8)
ProdNo CHAR(8)
Qty NUMBER(5)
The combination of OrdNo and Prodno is the
PRIMARY KEY
STEP 3: Should a NULL be allowed?
From examination of the sample data and your current understanding of businesses in which orders
could be placed either in person, over the phone, or over the Internet, determine if it would be
permissible for null values to be allowed for the foreign key EmpNo in the Order table. This column
would reference back to the EmpNo column in the employee table. Why or why not?
OrdNo OrdDate CustNo EmpNo

STEP 4: Initial Project Exercise
Although the overall project itself will be done as a group, this first exercise is designed as an
individual effort and is intended to; (1) get you to read the project specifications, and; (2) introduce
you to the first step in designing a database from scratch. This little exercise will have you see how
many entities and attributes you can find in the project specifications. In week three, you will work
with your assigned project team and compare notes on what you have found. This is not rocket
science here so remember, you are looking for people, places, things, and events (entities) and the
attributes that describe them.
