Reference Problem and Exercise 22

Prepare an ERD for a real estate firm that lists property for sale. Also prepare a definition for each entity type, attribute, and relationship on your diagram. In addition, draw a data model for this situation using the tool you have been told to use in your course. The following describes this organization:

• The firm has a number of sales offices in several states. Attributes of sales office include Office Number (identifier) and Location.

• Each sales office is assigned one or more employees. Attributes of employee include Employee ID (identifier) and Employee Name. An employee must be assigned to only one sales office.

• For each sales office, there is always one employee assigned to manage that office. An employee may manage only the sales office to which he or she is assigned.

• The firm lists property for sale. Attributes of property include Property ID (identifier) and Location. Components of Location include Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

• Each unit of property must be listed with one (and only one) of the sales offices. A sales office may have any number of properties listed or may have no properties listed.

• Each unit of property has one or more owners. Attributes of owners are Owner ID (identifier) and Owner Name. An owner may own one or more units of property. An attribute of the relationship between property and owner is Percent Owned.
