Introduction to ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram)

An Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a graphical representation of entities and their relationships within a database system. It serves as a blueprint for designing and visualizing the database structure. In this assignment, you will design an ERD for a Facebook Application System using Oracle, capturing the relationships between users, posts, comments, and more.

The ERD will help you model how different data components in a Facebook-like application are related. By completing this assignment, you will gain practical experience in designing a database schema, establishing relationships, and defining constraints in Oracle.

Tools for Creating ERDs

To design and model an ERD, tools like Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler or Lucidchart can be utilized. These tools offer a visual representation of entities and their relationships and help generate the corresponding DDL (Data Definition Language) SQL scripts for database implementation.

Objective of the Assignment

The objective is to design and implement an ERD for a Facebook Application System. You will define tables, set up relationships between users, posts, comments, and reactions, and implement constraints to ensure data integrity.

This assignment consists of 25 tasks that guide you through creating a fully functioning data model for a Facebook-like application.

Assignment Tasks

Construct all the tables from Chapter 5 DDL assignment within the ERD diagram using an ERD tool.

• Begin by creating each table, then define the columns within the table on the ERD tool canvas.
• Specify the DATA TYPES and NULLABILITY for all columns.
• Set PRIMARY KEYS for the tables.
• Define auto increment (IDENTITY) columns as needed.
• Establish FOREIGN KEY relationships where necessary.
• Define INDEXES where applicable.
• Implement CHECK constraints as needed.
• Define DEFAULTS where applicable.
• Refer to Chapter 5 DDL assignment for detailed instructions on tables and columns (/oracle/data-definition-language-sql-ddl/sql-ddl-assignment-facebook-application-project).

Submission Instructions

   • Option 1: Export your ERD as a PDF using pgAdmin 4.
   • Option 2: Export the ERD as a DDL SQL script.

2. SQL Scripts:

   • Submit SQL scripts for creating tables, constraints, indexes, and relationships.

3. Documentation:

   • Provide a brief explanation of the relationships between the tables and your design decisions.
