Why EER?
E-R first introduced in mid-70s Business relationships are more
complex Need to model more complex data Example: CAR – SEDAN, SUV, TRUCK,
etc. Solution: supertype – subtype
![Page 5: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Supertypes and Subtypes Subtype: A subgrouping of the entities in an
entity type which has attributes that are distinct from those in other subgroupings
Supertype: An generic entity type that has a relationship with one or more subtypes
Attribute Inheritance: Subtype entities inherit values of all
attributes of the supertype An instance of a subtype is also an instance
of the supertype
Sounds like object-oriented?

All employee subtypes will have employee number, name, address, and date-hired
Each employee subtype will also have its own attributes

Different modeling tools may have different notation for the same modeling constructs
![Page 9: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Relationships and Subtypes
Relationships at the supertype level indicate that all subtypes will participate in the relationship
The instances of a subtype may participate in a relationship unique to that subtype. In this situation, the relationship is shown at the subtype level
![Page 10: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Figure 4-3 – Supertype/subtype relationships in a hospital
Both outpatients and resident patients are cared for by a responsible physician
Only resident patients are assigned to a bed

Generalization and Specialization
Generalization: The process of defining a more general entity type from a set of more specialized entity types. BOTTOM-UP
Specialization: The process of defining one or more subtypes of the supertype, and forming supertype/subtype relationships. TOP-DOWN
![Page 12: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Figure 4-4a – Example of generalization
Notice anything?
All these types of vehicles have common attributes
![Page 13: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13Figure 4-4b – Generalization to VEHICLE supertype
So we put the shared attributes in a supertype
Note: no subtype for motorcycle, since it has no unique attributes
![Page 14: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Figure 4-5a – Example of specialization
Only applies to manufactured
parts
Applies only to purchased parts

Figure 4-5b – Specialization to MANUFACTURED PART and PURCHASED PART
Note: multivalued attribute was replaced by a relationship to another entity
Created 2 subtypes

Constraints in Supertype/ Completeness Constraint
Completeness Constraints: Whether an instance of a supertype must also be a member of at least one subtype Total Specialization Rule: Yes (double line) Partial Specialization Rule: No (single line)
![Page 17: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

A patient must be either an outpatient or a resident patient

Constraints in Supertype/ Disjointness constraint
Disjointness Constraints: Whether an instance of a supertype may simultaneously be a member of two (or more) subtypes Disjoint Rule: An instance of the supertype
can be only ONE of the subtypes Overlap Rule: An instance of the supertype
could be more than one of the subtypes
![Page 20: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Disjoint rule

Constraints in Supertype/ Subtype Discriminators
Subtype Discriminator: An attribute of the supertype whose values determine the target subtype(s) Disjoint – a simple attribute with alternative
values to indicate the possible subtypes Overlapping – a composite attribute whose
subparts pertain to different subtypes. Each subpart contains a boolean value to indicate whether or not the instance belongs to the associated subtype
![Page 23: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Figure 4-9 – Subtype discriminator (overlap rule)
A composite attribute with sub-attributes indicating “yes” or “no” to determine whether it is of each subtype

Entity Clusters
EER diagrams are difficult to read when there are too many entities and relationships
Solution: group entities and relationships into entity clusters
Entity cluster: set of one or more entity types and associated relationships grouped into a single abstract entity type
![Page 27: IS 4420 Database Fundamentals Chapter 4: The Enhanced ER Model and Business Rules Leon Chen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d775503460f94a587b6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
