Discuss the difference between a composite key and a composite attribute.How would each be indicated in an ERD?
Attribute is the property of entity.The composite attribute is like address(where street no,house no,town name all include).Composite key is also an attribute,but only which attribute are work as a unique identifier. Example:> In an ERD if vendor placed with orders then order(order day, order number) vendor(vendor code,vendor address) Here, order and vendor both are entity and order number, vendor code both are Composite key(because those are unique)but vendor address is a Composite attribute and order day(may be not unique)is an attribute only. So, we can conclude that all attribute not Composite key.

What are key attribute and non key attribute?
Attributes can be classified as identifiers or descriptors. Identifiers, more commonly called keys or key attributes uniquely identify an instance of an entity. If such an attribute doesn't exist naturally, a new attribute is defined for that purpose, for example an ID number or code. A descriptor describes a non-unique characteristic of an entity instance. An entity usually has an attribute whose values are distinct for each individual entity. This attribute uniquely identifies the individual entity. Such an attribute is called a key attribute. For example, in the Employee entity type, EmpNo is the key attribute since no two employees can have same employee number. Similarly, for Product entity type, ProdId is the key attribute. There may be a case when one single attribute is not sufficient to identify entities. Then a combination of attributes can solve this purpose. We can form a group of more than one attribute and use this combination as a key attribute. That is known as a composite key attribute. When identifying attributes of entities, identifying key attribute is very important.
