ERD Symbols and Meanings

Crow's foot notation is used in Barker's Notation, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) and information engineering. Crow's foot diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes. Different shapes at the ends of these lines represent the cardinality of the relationship.
The Chen's ERD notation is still used and is considered to present a more detailed way of representing entities and relationships.
To create an ERD, software engineers mainly turn to dedicated drawing software, which contain the full notation resources for their specific database design - ERD symbols and meanings. CS Odessa has released an all-inclusive Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution for their powerful drawing program, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.

MS Visio Look a Like Diagrams

No need for any special drawing skills to create professional looking diagrams outside of your knowledge base. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM takes care of the technical details, allowing you to focus on your job, not the drawing.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM delivers full-functioned alternative to MS Visio. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM supports import of Visio files. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM supports flowcharting, swimlane, orgchart, project chart, mind map, decision tree, cause and effect, charts and graphs, and many other diagram types.

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) serves for detailed description of structures and databases. An ERD represents a diagram made up mainly of rectangular blocks (for entities, or data) linked with relationships. The links between the blocks describe relations between these entities. There are three types of relationships: one-to-one,
one-to-many, many-to-many.
Draw Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) easily with ConceptDraw extended with Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution from the Software Development Area. Use ERD software to create ER diagram.

Entity Relationship Diagram Software for Mac

One of the most popular semantic data models is the "entity-relationship" model (often called ER-model). Most of the modern approaches to the database (mainly relational) design are based on the usage of different versions of ER- model. Domain modeling is based on the use of graphic charts, including a small number of heterogeneous components. The simplicity and the presentation clarity of the conceptual basis of these ER-model schemes led to its widespread deployment in the CASE-systems that support automatic design of relational databases.
A relation is a graphically depicted association between two entities. As well as the entity, a relation is a typical concept, all instances of the linked entity types are subject to the rules established by the connecting. Therefore, it is more correct to speak about the relationship type made between types of entities and about the instances of relationship types made between instances of the entity type. In common ER-model this association is a

Design Element: Basic Network for Network Diagrams

IDEF1X Standard

Use Case Diagrams technology. IDEF1x standard - for work with relational data bases. IDEF1x standard is meant for constructing of conceptual schemes which represent the structure of data in the context of the concerned system, for example, a commercial organization.

Examples of Flowcharts, Org Charts and More

ConceptDraw examples covers a broad spectrum of business graphics categories. We separated all the graphic documents on application areas and had produced multiple solutions for each of them. ConceptDraw provides a wide variety of examples such as flowcharts, organizational charts, business charts, UML diagrams, database and ERD, directional map, network diagrams and lots more. Each solution accommodates 10+ examples that shows specific application cases of a diagram. ConceptDraw STORE is an application for downloading solutions with examples, templates and stencil libraries. Please choose any examples you are interested in, alternatively download them for free; you will need to install ConceptDraw to view them. As you will see, ConceptDraw is very powerful, you can use more than 10000 symbols, examples, and many pre-drawn templates, to create your own spectacular flowcharts, business diagrams, network diagrams and lots more, effortlessly, and in no time at all.
