yes. For example, only one person actually "participates" in the stalker/victim relationship.
A database object is represented as one of the following: database, schema, table, column, primary key, and foreign key A database Entity is: An entity is a thing or object of importance about which data must be captured. All things aren't entities - only those about which information should be captured. Information about an entity is captured in the form of attributes and/or relationships. If something is a candidate for being an entity and it has no attributes or relationships, it isn't an entity. Database entities appear in a data model as a box with a title. The title is the name of the entity.
An entity set may not have sufficient attributes to form a primary key is called weak entity set. One with primary key is called strong entity set.
In layered systems, one of a set of entities that are in the same layer or the equivalent layer of another system.
A table relationship is where a field in one table is matched with the same field in another table. For example you may have a table that lists your suppliers so 'Supplier Name' is one of the fields, you may then have another table that lists orders made so "Supplier Name" will be a field in that table also. Therefore you can link the two tables together so that all specific supplier address details are linked to subsequent orders with that supplier. For a relationship to work both linking fields must be of the same data type, therefore you can't link a field that is stated as text with one that is stated as a date. Relationships are commonly known as one-to-one and one-to-many, in a one-to-one relationship the field's contents can only appear once on each side so using the example above one supplier in the suppliers table can only have one order record in the orders table. "One to many" therefore means that one supplier can appear on many orders. Hope this helps.
In case you have no background in computer science, entity relationship is a method that conceptually identifies the interacting, and independent objects( both physical and otherwise) in an information system with the view to avoid data redundancy, maintain data integrity, improve data efficiency, increase resource utilization in terms of storage management and access speed or system response time. Pls let stop here. An instance of your diagram, which I will stress you little, is to quickly image 1. A hostel and rooms in it, here Hostel as well as the rooms are treated as different entities. 2. imagine manager and employee under him in an organization, even though they can all be referred to as employees yet manager is different entity In a nut shell we use a line to link two interacting entities and the cardinality( which is to be discuss professionally as either one to one, one to many). That is all. I am not too good at drawing but I could conceptualize it mentally. If this does not satisfy you do not hesitate to mail me at: maduchudi@yahoo.com I will always be for you all.
If you have a many-to-many relationship between two entities you create an intermediate entity between.Now, the relationship between the first entity and intersection entity is one-to-many, and the relationship between the second entity and intersection entity is one-to-many also.
a democratic relationship is one that each person is participating equally....

There are three types of relationship in a database . One to one, one to many and many to many , Example of many to many relationship is relation between teachers and students, n teachers can have m students.
In contrast to the strong or regular entity, a weak entity is one that meets two conditions: 1. The entity is existence-dependent; that is, it cannot exist without the entity with which it has a relationship. 2. The entity has a primary key that is partially or totally derived from the parent entity in the relationship.
Participation (or optionality) concerns the involvement of entities i a relationship. Participation is about exceptions to the rule. An entity's participation is optional if there is a least one instance of an entity which does not participate in the relationship. An entity participation is mandatory if all instances of an entity must participate in the relationship.
The symbiotic relationship in which both participating parties benefit is called mutualism. When one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed it is called parasitism.
Degree of relationship One-to-many relationships This means how many of one entity can be related to how many of the other(s). Ask yourself how many of each entity there can be. In this kind of relationship one of the entities can be related many times to another entity. For example, one excavation can contain many finds; one person can commit many crimes.
It is a term from computer databases. A relational database can have a one-to-many relationship in its data. For example, if you have a customer order database, one table will contain customer names and another will contain their orders. Each customer will only be listed once, but each customer can make many orders. So one customer can be related to many orders. Incorporating that into a database requires the creation of a one to many relationship.
Here is Example!! Entity: PERSON Att:Baby_Name, Father_Name Entity: CITY Att: Country_Name, City_Name, Hospital_Name 1 To 1 Relation: One Baby born at one place(Hospital).
Cardinality constraints are rules that define the relationships between tables in a database. They determine how many instances of one entity can be associated with another entity. For example, a cardinality constraint of "one-to-one" means that each instance of one entity can be associated with only one instance of another entity. Cardinality constraints impact database design by helping ensure data integrity and preventing inconsistencies or anomalies. They guide the creation of tables, their relationships, and the use of foreign keys for maintaining data relationships.
I would love to answer your. . . sentence but it isn't a question. :) Sorry for your inconvenience.
