Program Plan Intro

Shorthand representation of the relational database structure:

  • The shorthand representation is used to represent the database table in an easier and an understandable way by using primary keys.
  • The step wise process for representing a shorthand representation of a database structure is as follows:
    • First, the Table Name is written down.
    • Using paranthesis, list down all the columns or fields in the table within the paranthesis.
    • From the shorthand representation, data such as primary keys can be identified.
    • In this kind of representation, bold or underline data is used to represent a Primary key.

INDICATE THE CHANGES(USING SHORTHAND REPRESENTATION) YOU WOULD NEED TO MAKE TO THE ORIGINAL KIMTAY PET SUPPLIES DATABASE DESIGN TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS.

Indicate the changes (using the shorthand representation) that you would need to make the original KimTay Pet supplies database design (see Figure 2-1) to support the following requirements. A customer is not necessarily represented by a single sales rep, but they can be represented by several sales reps. When a customer places an order, the sales rep who gets the commission on the invoice must be in the collection of sales reps who represent the customer.
Indicate the changes (using the shorthand representation) that you would need to make to the original KimTay Pet Supplies database design to support the following requirements. There is no relationship between customers and sales reps. When a customer places an order, any sales rep can process the order and create the invoice. On the invoice, you need to identify both the customer placing the order and the sales rep responsible for the invoice. Draw an E-R diagram for the new design.
