Pages in Time
Pages in Time is a small bookstore carrying a variety of books. The owners have decided to computerize the books
available through the store so that they can determine more easily what books are on hand and which books need to
be special ordered to meet customer needs. Because customers do not always remember the name of a desired book,
the owners want to be able to look for books by author or by type (genre). They also want to be able to find the
publishers information using the system so that they can order books more easily.
After visiting with the owners, you have gathered the following information on data requirements and business rules
to develop a
conceptual design (ERD), prepare it for conversion to an Access database, and then create the actual database.
DATA REQUIREMENTS
You have determined that you will need at least the following entities to resolve the relationships that exist in the
data.
CUSTOMERS
ID
Name (store data in its smallest parts)
Phone
Address (store data in its smallest parts)

b. if you are using Citrix, click on Microsoft Office 2010 Applications folder to start Visio.
Lab:
Step 1: Identify and create the entities
a. Open a new blank Database Model Diagram. If you need assitance with this, refer to the Week 1 Lab Instructions.
Be sure that all options are set consistent to those used in previous weeks so that you generate your model in Crows
Foot notation.
b. Save the file as YourName_Lab4A.vsd.
c. Based on the information provided below, create the necessary entities for the Catering by Caren database. If you
need assistance to create the entities, refer to Labs from Weeks 1 and 2.
Catering by Caren
Catering by Caren is an upscale catering company focusing on full, four-course gourmet dinners for groups from two
to forty. Owner/chef James Caren is wonderful in the kitchen, but has become overwhelmed with the business side of
running his rapidly growing operation. You have been hired as his business manager, and youve decided to
computerize information on the engagements.
Chef Caren is excited about this project and has provided you with the following information. He doesnt know
databases nearly as well as he knows haute cuisine, so the data requirements are not well-organized, nor is data in its
smallest parts. He has noted whether the menu items are appetizers, salads, main courses, or desserts. He has also
provided a list of the information he keeps on each customer and each booking.
By talking with Chef Caren, you feel you have enough information on the companys business rules to understand the
relationships between the data. Chef Caren is particularly concerned that you capture the exact requirements for the
menu for each engagement. For instance, if 20 people are to be served, he wants to know how many want the
vegetarian main course, the Kosher meals, and so forth.
At this point, you are going to use the following information to put together an entity relationship diagram that you
will then use with Chef Caren to verify that you have accurately captured the requirements.

NOTE: You may find it helpful to consider the business rules in Step 4 in creating your entities.
2. One assistant chef is assigned to each engagement. An assistant chef may work many engagements over time, but
each engagement will have only one assistant chef assigned.
3. Each engagement will have many menu items. Each menu item may be served at many engagements. When a menu
item is selected, the number of servings required for the event must be recorded. (Hint: Remember that an associative
entity may have attributes!)
4. Each engagement must have at least one assistant chef assigned. There may be many other employees assigned to
the engagement. Each employee may work many engagements. However, some employees never work engagements.
5. Only one engagement may be scheduled for any particular date and time.

Step 5: Determine and specify the data types
a. Using the information below select the data type for each attribute (field) in your diagram, and set the type in the
attribute properties. (Refer to the Week 2 Lab if you are not sure how to do this. Where allowed, estimate the field
length needed.)
As the data types and field lengths are not included in the data requirements, you should make a selection based on
your knowledge of the type of data and approximation of length required. The Visio equivalents are shown below

Step 6: Modify the Visio Settings to show the Data type and field size in the diagram.
a. Change your Visio settings so that the data type and field size appear on the actual diagram. If you are unsure of the
steps to do this, refer to the Week 3 Lab.
b. Be sure to save the final version of your file.

2. Given a situation containing entities, business rules, and data requirements,create the conceptual model of the
database using a database modeling tool.
Scenario:
You have been asked to create a database model using the MS Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose
of this lab is to provide experience normalizing the database to third normal form based on limited instructions, data
requirements, and associated business rules.
Upon completing this lab, you will be able to
1. create a new Visio file for database design; and
2. using the data requirements and the business rules provided, develop a conceptual model (ERD), including
attribute data types and required field lengths.

Step 1 YourName_Lab5A_ERMatrix.docx
Step 3 YourNameLab5A.vsd (Visio Diagram)
E. Lab Steps
Preparation
1. Get the Lab5A_ERMatrix.docx document from Doc Sharing:
a. Download the Lab5A_ERMatrix document file from your course Doc
Sharing panel (Labs view), and Save the file to your local drive.
2. Using Citrix for MS Visio and/or MS Access
a. If you are using the Citrix remote lab, follow the login instructions located in the iLab tab in Course Home.
3. Start MS Visio
a. Open Microsoft Office, Visio application, or
b. if you are using Citrix, click on Microsoft Office Applications folder to start Visio. Page 2 of 5 Lab
d. An ER Matrix helps define both the entities and the relationships between the entities. Using the partially
completed ER Matrix below as a guide, complete the matrix.
Hint: You should end up with four entities.
1. List each entity both across and down.
2. Determine whether a relationship exists between entities and define that relationship with a verb phrase. (NOTE:
The entity with the greatest number of related entities is usually the center of the ER diagram.)
3. Identify minimum (Optional or Mandatory) and maximum (only one, or one or more).Page 3 of 5 Student
CourseStudent none Enrolls in; Mandatory One or more
Course Is taken by: Optional One or more none
e. Save the completed matrix to submit as part of your lab.
Step 2: Create the initial ERD based on the matrix.
a. Open a new blank Database Model Diagram in Visio. If you need assitance with this, refer to the Week 1 Lab
Instructions. Be sure that all options are set consistent to those used in previous weeks so that you generate your
model in Crows Foot notation.
b. One of the issues in denormalized data is that it can result in many-to-many relationships that are not compatible
with the relational database. Visio does not allow creation of a many-to-many relationship because of this
incompatibility. Therefore, for any many-to-many relationships in your data, you will need to create two one-to-many
relationships. See the example below:Page 4 of 5
c. Based on the information from Step 1, create the initial ERD for the College Scheduling database including the
many-to-many relationships. If you need assistance to create the entities, refer to labs from Weeks 1 and 2.
d. Assign the primary keys and attributes from the data requirements to the proper entities.
e. Save the file as YourName_Lab5A.vsd.
Step 3: Normalize the database
a. While the initial ERD is accurate, if you design a database without deviating from it, you will encounter problems.
For example, a course is offered many times. If you use the course code, for example BIS245, as the primary key, you
will only be able to list the course once. There are three possible solutions.
1. Assign another primary key, such as an auto-number field, so that the course can be listed multiple times. However,
this is not
acceptable because it introduces redundancy rather than reducing it.
2. Use a composite primary key consisting of the Course Code and the Section code. If you create a unique section
code (EXAMPLE: YearTerm_Section or 2010SpringA_A), then you can list the course repeatedly. Again, this
introduces redundancy, and is not an acceptable solution.
3. Split the table to create two tables. To stay consistent with DeVry terminology, create a second Section table. To
ensure that a course is not entered twice, you might modify the Section code to include the course:
BIS245_2010SpringA_A. By consistently using this format, you should not be able to duplicate the section, and can
avoid a complicated composite key. However, as the Section table will serve as an associative entity, it is acceptable to
borrow the primary keys of the parent tables.
b. Open the Visio file from Step 2, and add a new page. Change the page tab to read Revised. Revise the initial ERD
based on the following information.
1. A Course may exist without being offered. It exists in the catalog.
Courses are scheduled for a term and given a section. It is the schedule course (Section) that students enroll in, that
are scheduled
in rooms and assigned instructors.
2. A Student can exist without being enrolled in a course.
3. An Instructor can exist without being assigned to teach a course.
4. A Room can exist without being scheduled for a course.
c. Save the file with your revised ERD.Page 5 of 5
