2. Snowflake schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_schema

   The snowflake schema is a variation of the star schema, featuring normalization of dimension tables. In computing, a snowflake schema or snowflake model is a logical arrangement of tables in a multidimensional database such that the entity relationship diagram resembles a snowflake shape.

3. Barker's notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker's_notation

   Barker's notation refers to the ERD notation developed by Richard Barker, Ian Palmer, Harry Ellis et al. whilst working at the British consulting firm CACI around 1981. The notation was adopted by Barker when he joined Oracle and is effectively defined in his book Entity Relationship Modelling as part of the CASE Method series of books.

4. Entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–relationship_model

   It occurs when a (master) table links to multiple tables in a one-to-many relationship. The issue derives its name from the visual appearance of the model when it is drawn in an entity–relationship diagram, as the linked tables 'fan out' from the master table. This type of model resembles a star schema, which is a common design in data ...

5. Cardinality (data modeling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_(data_modeling)

   In the object-oriented application programming paradigm, which is related to database structure design, UML class diagrams may be used for object modeling. In that case, object relationships are modeled using UML associations, and multiplicity is used on those associations to denote cardinality .

6. Data modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

   An entity–relationship model (ERM) is an abstract conceptual representation of structured data. Entity–relationship modeling is a relational schema database modeling method, used in software engineering to produce a type of conceptual data model (or semantic data model ) of a system, often a relational database , and its requirements in a ...

7. Database design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_design

   A sample entity–relationship diagram. One of the most common types of conceptual schemas is the ER (entity–relationship model) diagrams. Attributes in ER diagrams are usually modeled as an oval with the name of the attribute, linked to the entity or relationship that contains the attribute.

8. Many-to-many (data model) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-to-many_(data_model)

   For example, think of A as Authors, and B as Books. An Author can write several Books, and a Book can be written by several Authors. In a relational database management system, such relationships are usually implemented by means of an associative table (also known as join table, junction table or cross-reference table), say, AB with two one-to-many relationships A → AB and B → AB.

9. Enhanced entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_entity...

   The enhanced entity–relationship (EER) model (or extended entity–relationship model) in computer science is a high-level or conceptual data model incorporating extensions to the original entity–relationship (ER) model, used in the design of databases.
