MIS 6326 (Database Management)

Assignment 2: Chapters 5 & 6

Please upload a correct and readable assignment file (e.g., a text file, a PDF file, or an MS Word file).
After uploading the assignment file, you MUST validate it by checking what you uploaded. If you
uploaded a wrong file, you can take it back and upload a correct one before the assignment due date. At
the time of grading, no credit will be given to a wrong assignment (e.g., an assignment file for a different
class) or an unreadable file.
Answer Chapter 6 Data Modeling Problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (p. 197 of the textbook).
Answer Chapter 6 Conversion Problems 1, 5, 6, and 8 (pp. 212214 of the textbook). [Note: You do not
have to list conversion rules in your answer. Just convert ERDs into relational models] [Note: A relational
model is a collection of CREATE TABLE commands.]

Note: The Visio ERD shows foreign keys explicitly; but the ER-Assistant ERD does not show foreign
keys. Both ways of drawing ERDs are acceptable. But be sure to consistent: Do not mix these two
different methods.

Note: The Visio ERD method is currently more popular; most ERD tools use it. In the final exam, ERD
questions will require foreign keys shown explicitly. So, I strongly suggest you to use Visio or a
comparable tool.
