Weak entity, Database Management System

Assignment Help:

Entity types that do not have any key attribute, and therefore cannot be identified independently, are known as weak entity types. A weak entity can be recognized uniquely only by considering some of its attributes in conjunction with the primary key attributes of another entity, which is known as the identifying owner entity.

Usually a partial key is attached to a weak entity type that is used for unique identification of weak entities associated to a particular owner entity type. The following restrictions must hold:

  • The weak entity set and the owner entity set must participate in one to many relationship set. This relationship set is known as the identifying relationship set of the weak entity set.
  • The weak entity set necessary to have total participation in the recognized relationship.
