Question

I wanted to know how to represent a relationship between two entities which means "atleast".

Eg- A song must be part of atleast one album.

If "A song can be part of one or more than one album" means a one to many relationship between song and album, then what would the ER diagram for the Eg given above be?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It's represented on an ERD by a double line (called a participation constraint).

If one song can be on many albums, you need a junction table, Like so:

album -+------< album_song >------+- song
