Database Lesson #4 of 8 - Data Modeling and the ER Model

Dr. Soper gives a lecture on data modeling and the entity-relationship (ER) model. Topics include the components of ER models, depicting entities, attributes, relationships, and cardinalities in ER models, one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships, strong and weak entities, identifying and non-identifying relationships, supertypes and subtypes, and recursive relationships in data models.

Dear Dr Daniel I just wanted you to know That I am a computer science student who lives in Syria With very Poor financial conditions so I cannot afford for private tutors to teach me dbms I'm so grateful for the high quality knowledge you provide here for free Words cannot describe how thankful I am Wish you all the best

[@dgenerationbigestfan]

please keep us updated on your progress. Us here are interested in how you end up!!!

[@ziadcs5309]

I appreciate your kindness, the situation here is very bad in all aspects, unfortunately I'm just doing the bare minimum to pass my courses at university, the electricity here is available only 3/24 (three hours a day at its best), I think I'm graduating next year, but I think its hard for me to get to the real job market, I may start learning web development (in case things does not go worse!!). thanks for your comment again it made my day, wish you a nice day @@dgenerationbigestfan

Paying 9 grand for uni and get a useless pdf as a resource. Pay nothing for an hour long, detailed, easy to understand video. This is just so wrong

[@ervincasiguran]

i feel you

[@BraulioCespedesAcosta]

Fedil Al-Hayawi That's the new model of education. The same thing happened to me. I got a book of data base design from the library, Too complex for a beginner, but this video make thing easier.

[@meyerjohannes]

+Fedil Al-Hayawi It's a f***ing scam. I decided not to buy any textbooks this semester (except for one that I found an older edition for $5). It's so frustrating, they release new editions every couple years, and the only thing that changes is maybe the introduction and the end-of-chapter questions! And then when you finish the course, a $250 book is suddenly worth $60. Better to rent, but it's still a rip off. About to graduate, and the whole time I'm thinking when I walk the dean is going to hand me a paper, saying "here's your receipt".

[@vayunandu]

well said!

[@promisennanemere4]

I understand you bro. It can be that bad.

You dropped this crown, @Warren L.

[@mgray999]

You're better than my prof. I've been anxious about this class because the lectures cover just spouts of info and not the details. Thanks for this!

[@sabanaar]

Thanks a lot Dr. Soper, best coverage on the data modeling and the entity-relationship (ER) model I have ever seen. You are one of the best teacher I have ever had.

[@ginaonline83]

I've taken 2 database classes in the past but I've learned so much from your series of videos than I've learned in the classes, very detailed and easy to understand, thx u so much.

[@SRHarkreader]

Thank you so much Dr Soper; this is hands down, the best ERD tutorial I've ever watched. Great job!

[@oreed]

Dr. Soper, you are a great teacher. The content is so clear and easy to understand, the way you explain things is so logical, and your examples really help. Thank you for this!

[@prfgee8788]

Your method of presentation is second to none and your explanation is top notch. You deserve an award. Thank you!

[@jimb6554]

At 20:56 I was having difficulty with the Person entity relating to itself with marriage. I was thinking “Aren’t 2 different entities getting married?”. Then I resolved the difficulty by realizing that A person entity is a table. While an employee table relating to a parking table is a binary relationship because it involves two tables, one person instance getting married to another person instance is a Unary relationship because it involves just one table which is why we also call it a reflexive relationship.

[@lilitanikushkina1194]

Love everything about your lectures - the pace, the material, the structure, presentation and also the manner of speaking. Huge thanks!

[@pikkosaksa]

a joy to refresh and learn with Dr. Soper. Thank you!

[@hkrumble]

Dr. Daniel Soper, thank you so much for this. This is by far the most clear, lucid explanation of data modeling and ERDs I've come across. Fantastic!

[@bindenlibejohn7378]

If it must be done, It must be done well. Dr. you did it all . from simplicity through clarity to comprehensiveness. Bravoo!!!!!

[@JFrameMan]

Thank you Dr. Soper for this presentation. It has been a great help!

[@pajhume]

Very clear and concise. Video elaborates on specific details that are critical to understanding the subject matter. A+ quality. Deeply appreciative of your generosity!!!

[@hauteswan2541]

This is a great addition to my non-lecture database class. I will recommend it to my class. Thank you.

[@streetdogg4406]

Kimberly wow. How easy is it being a teacher?

[@scienceklinic4584]

Saved the video in 2018 and watching in 2022. What a gem! Thank you so much, prof.

[@tiyezx5993]

Just came across your tutorials today after years of many challenges learning databases. I'll return to give feedback. Very positive comments so far about your work. Thank you

[@fksheke1]

Thank you Dr Soper. This is really amazing. God bless you.

[@caseyobrien1082]

Why hasn't my prof done anything like this? I'm having to scour the internet to find a lecture on the subject. My professor just has us read the book, then gives us assignments. He offers no other learning resources whatsoever. Thankfully I've found this.

[@GloriaCopeland563537]

Same here

[@bhatz829]

My professor doesn't even speak to me. Been asking about what I should do. I get this video. This isn't even on the chapter I am learning.

[@noniboi1673]

My lecturer just gave us a pdf, which were slides from THIS series. huehuehe

[@scottmacnevin3555]

You have a teaching gift - like many others who have furnished a response - I currently study this topic at University. The teaching at my facility just isn't up to this standard when it comes to imparting concepts this clearly...I am almost at the end of your fourth video and feel I have such a good grasp of the concepts involved. Thank you

[@jephthah2347]

This is the best tutorial on this topic you'll find on the internet

[@BobTheBob647]

I have studied all those things at the university and I had no idea what the heck I was studying. I could barely get B0 (B-) for all preparing tests and exams with many not sleeping nights. I was just happy not to get FAIL. I have been watching this video with 1.5X speed and can't believe everything is so well explained and easy to understand!)

[@chaitanyavs]

Thank you for this amazing lecture series! One feedback- I'd love to see more examples of how to read the diagrams depicting entity relationships- You explained the concept well but some more examples would help the viewers

[@ajharrisTX]

Great presentation; well-spoken and thoroughly informative. Will definitely utilize your videos to supplement my AIS course!

Thank you Professor

[@fred.chapman]

*DR. SOPER* , I am learning a great deal from your lectures! I believe I found a small mistake at 52:52 and 55:03. In the recursive (unary) relationship between employees and managers, an employee need not have a manager (e.g., the CEO has no manager), but each manager must supervise at least one employee _and may supervise many employees._ So, the crow's foot symbol next to the employeeId attribute should have a cardinality of *one-to-many* , not one-and-only-one. Is that correct? Thank you!

[@GlebLobanov]

I have the same question.

[@thomasjust2663]

Who asked you id_ot

[@fred.chapman]

@@thomasjust2663, if another person's intelligence, knowledge, and ability make you feel so threatened, inadequate, and inferior that you become rude and insulting and lash out for no reason, then you have a real problem. You need to get help with that. I want you to talk with someone you trust, like a close friend, counselor, or therapist, to figure out why you are so desperately unhappy. You'll never find happiness by trying to tear other people down. You need to believe in yourself, invest in yourself, and build yourself up. I did it, and you can do it too. Will you try, Thomas?
