cardinality
|
|
identifying vs non identifying relationship
|
|
|
|
labels are important - but not always needed
|
|
|
|
associative entity => changes many to many relationship with additional relationship
|
|
|
|
## 0.1 subtypes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uses:
|
|
- model mutual exclusivity
|
|
- better for modelling not for implementation
|
|
|
|
## 0.2 parallel relationship
|
|
|
|
|
|
could model as separate relationships via staff subtypes
|
|
not very common
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also an example of recursive many-to-many relationships
|
|
|
|
## 0.3 recursive relationship
|
|
labels are critical
|
|
usually 1:M can be 1:1 or M:M
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 0.4 dealing with data history
|
|
|
|
|
|
could be many to many relationships:
|
|
|
|
so associative relationship: 
|
|
|
|
what do we require:
|
|
- for the current point in time
|
|
- an histroical record how ⇒ must be selecetive to not use up to much space |
