    Study Notes

    • Notation is a collection of symbols used for data representation in database design modeling.
    • There are different notations for ERD modeling, including Chen, Crow's Foot, and Min-Max notations.
    • Chen notation uses rectangles for entities, ellipses for attributes, and diamonds for relationships.
    • Crow's Foot notation uses rectangles for entities and lines with different shapes to represent relationships.
    • Crow's Foot notation is known for using graphical symbols to indicate the 'many' side of the relationship.
    • Min-Max notation is a third ERD notation that uses a pair of numbers to represent structural constraints.
    • The minimum number of times an entity can appear in a relation is represented by m, and the maximum is denoted by n.
    • The visualizations in the text show how to represent basic ERD elements in both Chen and Crow's Foot notations.
    • Choosing which notation to use is typically a matter of personal preference or convention.
    • The notations can be mapped to corresponding relational schemas for better illustration.
