Grand Canyon University Interpreting Entity Relationship Diagram Paper

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the structure of a relational database and demonstrate the ability to correctly document and explain additions to the structure of a relational database.

Part 1:

For this part of the assignment, you will use the “AdventureWorks 2014 OLTP Database,” located in the Course Materials, and use the schema. Follow the tree/chain to answer the questions below in a Microsoft Word document.

  1. How does the Sales.SalesTerritory table relate to the Person.StateProvince table? Which table holds the Primary and the Foreign Key? On what field do they join together?
  2. If you wanted to know the Planned Cost of a Product, what route would you take to the data? Identify the tables and fields used to join on each.
  3. Imagine a bonus was paid to an employee using a different currency. Identify the fields you would need so you could access the information. List all the tables involved, and the fields used to join.

Part 2:

For this part of the assignment, you will continue to assume you work at Adventure Works Cycles company. In the Topic 1 assignment, you made a request to add a field to the company database. That request has been approved, and now the database diagram needs to be accurately updated.

Create a simple Entity-Relationship Diagram ERD (using Draw.io or another similar application as approved by instructor) demonstrating how your new table will connect to the “HumanResources.Employee” table on the diagram. Since this is a new table, add new fields to create the proper relationships as you see fit.

In a one to two paragraph Word document, explain how these fields relate to the rest of the database content.
