ERD Data Model Assignment for Beginners in PostgreSQL

Introduction to ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram)

An Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) is an essential tool for database design, used to represent the structure and relationships between entities (tables) in a database. By using ERDs, you can visualize how different entities such as customers, accounts, transactions, and others are related within your system. This assignment will guide you through designing an ERD for a Banking Application System.

Objective of the Assignment

Your task is to design and implement a comprehensive data model for a Banking Application System using data modeling tools.

Upon completion, you should have a clear pdf exported from the ERD diagram and a set of SQL scripts representing the database design.

Tools for Creating ERDs in PostgreSQL

To create your ERD, we recommend using pgAdmin 4 or dbdiagram.io, which provide visual interfaces for designing ERDs and exporting SQL scripts directly compatible with PostgreSQL. pgAdmin 4 integrates smoothly with PostgreSQL databases, allowing you to visually build your schema and generate SQL code from your diagram.

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 (/postgresql/data-definition-language-sql-ddl/sql-ddl-assignment-banking-application-system-project).

Submission Instructions

1. ERD Design:
   • 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.
