Assignment 1: ERD Interpretation Due Date: 11:59pm 09/14/2023

Instruction: Below is an ERD for movie rental. Interpret the ERD and type your answer below each of the
questions.
1. Interpret the relationship between film, film_category, category.
 This Relation comes under many-to-many relation.

Explanation: -

 Here the film_id in the film_ category table was taking the reference from the film_id
present in the film table, So the film_id of the film table is the primary key and film_id of
the film_category table is the foreign key.
 And category_id in the film_category table was taking the reference from the category_id
present in the category table, So the category_id of the category table is the primary key
and category_id of the film_category table is the foreign key.
 So from the above explanation film_category is the junction table that contains film_id,
category_id foreign key columns to form many-to-many relation between the film table
and category table.
 Individually the film and film_category tables have a one-to-many realation and the
category and film_category tables have one-to-many relation.
 But they form many-to-many relation by using a junction table film_category.

2. Interpret the relationship between film and language.

 This Relation comes under one-to-many relation.

Explanation: -

 Here the language table stores the language records where language_id is the primary
key.
 The film table stores the film records where film_id is the primary key and language_id
is the foreign key.
 Each language has one record in language table.
 Each language can have many films in film table.
 The language and film tables are linked by the key column language_id.
 language_id is the foreign key in film table linking to the primary key language_id in the
language table.
 Thus, one record of the language table can point to multiple records in the film table.
 This will represent that this relation comes under one-to-many relation.

3. Interpret the relationship between film and actor.

 This is no relation between film and actor tables.
 If suppose we involve the film_actor table in between the film table and actor table then it
will be many-to-many relation.
 So here we are checking only for film table and actor table, So that there is no such primary
key and foreign key relation between these two table.
4. Interpret the relationship between film and inventory.
