I just wanted to post what I have learned about ERD on here to see if I am correct so far.

      The glowing Attributes are the Primary Key's for the ERD. I am currently working on the diagram for this project so I will post it once it's finished. I will be using crow's feet notation.
EDIT:




I am going to post a diagram today. I use both Oracle Academy and Access as well as Visio. I use the 2013 edition.





Additional Edit:


The File Name is University and is posted.

Rather than just talking about pure concept, why not upload the MircosoftAccess database file? That would be more credible than what is currently provided.

but why do you assume he's using Microsoft Access??

The content of his wording suggests he's studying this in college. I don't know any college doing database design that uses libreoffice base or some other database modeler.

Well, mine for starters did? We were taught using Oracle/MySQL in my database design course. Seems to me that would be the better way to learn. Who the hell still uses MS Access for any serious dbms?

I don't make the rules up, the educational institute people do.

My Uni defnitely introduced this with MySql. with the 'weak' people in the class using PHPMyAdmin to build the DB.
