  • An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD or ER Diagram) is commonly used in data modeling to represent the main data entities in an organization or system. In this video, I’ll provide a comprehensive tutorial on entity diagrams for business analysts including different notations such as Chen, UML, and Crow’s Foot. We'll also look at the main components of the diagram including entities, attributes, relationships, and cardinality. The ER Diagram example will also include primary and foreign keys. I’ll also cover the difference between conceptual, logical, and physical entity relationship diagrams followed by an example of this data model.
    In general, business analysts use er diagrams to help make understanding the relationship between data items easier for business stakeholders (conceptual and logical), while also illustrating the structure of these relationships (physical ERD) in a way for the technical team to build upon.
    Entity Relationship Diagrams are used to:
    • Establish and communicate a consistent vocabulary
    • Illustrate business rules related to a domain
    • Define data requirements for an information system
    • Provide details about stakeholders, objects, or concepts
    • Plan and set up databases that store relational data

    In the last slide, the Book to Renewal relationship - I understand the premise but there is no Book ID in the Renewal table or a Renewal ID in the Book table... is this correct? How can a relationship be established here if there is no connection in relation?

    • @thebadoc
      @thebadoc  10 месяцев назад +3

      Good Observation. Remember, when you are referencing a primary key in a table, you are pulling in all of the attributes that fall under that primary key. So by referencing the Checkout ID in the renewal table, that will pull in the Book ID (foreign key) from the checkout table. I hope that helps!

    My system basically allows lecturers to upload notes and allows students to view, as well submit quizzes. Lecturers can then view the submission and upload assessment for students to view. My entities are quite unclear to me. I've got Student and Admin as my entities only, would there be any other?

    • @thebadoc
      @thebadoc  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, Samuel! When you outline the requirements and processes that exist within the system or domain, you need to identity and extract any "noun" within those processes. Any noun that the organization wants to track and is required for the process to be completed is what you need to include in the ERD. So based on the bit of information provided the entities would likely be lecturers, lecture/lesson, student, notes, and admin if they are different from the lecturer. I hope that helps.

    Thanks for the great explanation! I have a question - why didn't you add relatinoship between BOOK and CHECKOUT entities?

    • @thebadoc
      @thebadoc  3 месяца назад +1

      You are very welcome! Good observation. In this example, I didn't outline a business rule or requirement that would require me to display the relationship. Now, because I used the Book ID, which is Book's primary key as a "foreign key" in the Checkout entity, I technically should have included relationship lines to show their relationship. I hope that helps!

    Should you link book with check out? Since youre pulling the book id as a fk? Doesnt it need a direct link?

    • @thebadoc
      @thebadoc  8 месяцев назад +2

      Good question! It's not necessary to show the relationship between the foreign key attribute and the original entity, but it can be beneficial for understanding the structure of your database, especially in complex databases. Especially at the physical level.

    Nice overview of the bad old ERD - two things. Firstly, the ERD approach scares people - so many weird words - entity, cardinality, domains, nouns, primary key, foreign key. It's simply a way of describing a system so that a coder can use it to construct a Database. Why are we still doing this? BAs DO develop an understanding of the "System Model" (Types of objects / entities and their associations to other objects in the System) e.g. "Book" -> [author] -> "Contact" - a very simple vision of a system. That's all that is needed! Software can take it from there. Secondly, by dropping the ERD and using a system model approach, it is a much easier and better way to comprehend the System at the correct level of granularity for the process being developed. Of course, as you state, the ERD is really necessary for the coder. But imagine that once you have built your system model you can build your complete system WITHOUT using a software coder. That's what NoCode is all about. Let's move away from software design methods for the last millennium!

    • @thebadoc
      @thebadoc  Год назад +3

      That's an interesting perspective. While I do love NoCode, unfortunately, not every organization has picked up this trend. So, in order for a BA or DA to be truly effective and versatile in any organization, they need to be adept in various methods of modeling systems. There's rarely a one size fits all approach. 😀

      The thing about Product Owners is that they trust us, the BA's. We talk "human". we are part of the translation from Product owner to coder. No Code suits the BA down to the ground. You should give it a go. Means we become the developer, not just the conduit, opens a whole new chapter in software development, innovation, business security and on-going management. @The Business Analysis Doctor, LLC

      I've actually been on a few no code projects in the past that involved building out workflows. I must admit it was liberating. But at the same time, being that close to the code takes away from the time I get to spend doing more strategic work. Which is an area I strive in. But I definitely think no code environments are great for those who prefer to be more hands on with the code while also having more autonomy.
