Entity-relationship (E-R) diagrams are time-tested models for database development well-known for their usefulness in mapping out clear database designs. Also commonly known is how difficult it is to master them. With this comprehensive guide, database designers and developers can quickly learn all the ins and outs of E-R diagramming to become expert database designers. Because E-R diagrams are so fundamental to database design, this book is also an indispensable text for teaching computer science students the basics of database development. Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagrams clarifies E-R diagramming by defining it in terms of requirements (end user requests) and specifications (designer feedback to those requests).
The book explains how open communication between designers and end users is critical to developing usable, easy-to-understand E-R diagrams that model both requirements and specifications. The authors explain, in an intuitive, informal manner, how to develop an E-R diagram, how to map it to a database, and how the resulting database can be tested. This definitive guide is a basic component for any database course, and is also an invaluable reference that database professionals can use throughout their careers.

This book starts right from the basics with databases and SQL. Prior database or SQL knowledge is not necessary, as this book covers everything from database design to creating your first database and understanding how the SQL language is used with databases.
If you have some previous experience with databases and SQL, then you’ll have a head start and you may want to just skim Chapter 1. You’ll need to follow its instructions for creating the book’s example database, as this is used for all the examples throughout the book.
This book will look at Structured Query Language, or SQL as it’s usually abbreviated. SQL works with a database to create the database and to insert and extract data. Therefore, it’s essential to understand the theory and concepts behind database systems. Hence, this book also covers database theory and database design, so that you’re equipped to create an effective database.
