I'm looking for a one-page quick-reference or cheatsheet (preferably in PDF) to the meanings of the various ERD symbols in Crowsfoot/Martin notation.
I've done a lot of googling, but have not found a good, concise quick-reference guide, though I'm sure one must exist.
In entity relationship modeling, solid lines represent strong relationships and dashed lines represent weak relationships.
The primary key of an. entity set is a candidate key that is chosen by the database designer. as the principle means of identifying entities within an entity set. (see Sectiown 4). Dashed Circle: A dashed ellipse represents a derived attribute.
ERD components: Entity, Attribute and Relationship. Cardinality is the number of relationships or instances one entity has with another.
Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols & Notations mainly contains three basic symbols which are rectangle, oval and diamond to represent relationships between elements, entities and attributes. There are some sub-elements which are based on main elements in ERD Diagram.
I've also been looking for a single-page "quick reference" PDF for ERD relationship symbols (i.e. "Crows Feet"). I haven't found anything I've liked, so I created this.
I've posted the Full Page, Printable PDF on my blog.
Hope this helps!
