Purpose of E/R Model The E/R model allows us to sketch database schema designs. Includes some constraints,but not operations. Designs are pictures called entity- relationship diagrams. Later:convert E/R designs to relational DB designs. 3

Framework for E/R Design is a serious business. The "boss"knows they want a database,but they don't know what they want in it. Sketching the key components is an efficient way to develop a working database
