1. Quote of the Week

The ER notation consists a set of constructs, such as, a rectangle to represent an entity types, an ellipse to represent an attribute a diamond to represent a relationship type, and so on. The RDS is a set of linear relation schemas. A relation schema has a name and is a sequence of attributes of text separated by comas and arranged horizontal. I have also developed an ER-to relational transformation algorithm to transform an ER schema to its corresponding RDS. I wish to implement this project as a CASE tool. --LinkedIn.com
