Step 2: Converting the E-R Diagram into Tables

a. Converting entity to table and attribute to columns

USER

U_id Primary Key
Password  
Security_quest  

Passenger

PNR Primary Key
P_name  
Age  
Gender  
Seat_no.  
Reserve_status  
U_id Foreign key references to U_id of User table.
Status_id Foreign key references to Status_id of Train_Status Table.
Train_id Foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table

Train_Status

Status_id Primary Key
Wait_seat  
Avail_seat  
Booked_seat  
Train_id Foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table
PNR Foreign key references to PNR of Passenger table.

Train

Train_id Primary Key
T_name  
Train_type  
Avail_class  
Status_id Foreign key references to Status_id of Train_Status Table.

Route

Arr_time  
Depart_time  
Stop no.  
Station_id Foreign key references to Station_id of Station table.
Train_id Foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table

Station

Station_id Primary Key
Station_name  

Step 3: Mapping of Attributes

a. Simple Attributes

Simple attributes which cannot be divided into subparts.

Example: Seat Number of passenger

b. Composite Attributes

Composite attributes which can be divided into subparts.

Example: Passenger Name, Reservation status

P_name

First_Name
Middle_Name
Last_name

Reserve_status

Waiting
Confirmed

Step 4: Mapping of entity set

a. Weak entity set

For each weak entity type with owner entity, create a table and include all simple attributes of weak entity type as columns of table, including foreign key attributes as the primary key of the table that correspond to the owner entity type.(Owner entity is strong entity having own primary key.)

Example: Route (Weak Entity) in Train (Owner entity).

Step 5: Mapping of Relationships

a. Foreign Key approach

Passenger_Table

U_id Passenger table makes foreign key references to U_id of User table.
Status_id Passenger table makes foreign key references to Status_id of Train_Status Table.
Train_id Passenger table makes foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table

Train_Status

Train_id Train_status table makes foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table
PNR Train_status table makes foreign key references to PNR of Passenger table.

Train

Route

Station_id Route table makes foreign key references to Station_id of Station table.
Train_id Route table makes foreign key references to Train_id of Train Table

Step 6: Identifying the relationships

a. Passenger can book many tickets.

Therefore the relations are 1……..N.

b. Trains are associated with each Train_status

Therefore the relation is M……..1.

c. Trains can route from one route.

Therefore the relations are N……..1.

d. Station has a set of Route.

Therefore the relations are 1……..N.
