Rule specifies that an entity instance of a supertype is allowed not to belong to any subtype

Which of the following is a generic entity type that has a relationship with one or more subtypes?

Given the following entities, which of the choices below would be the most complicated?

Automobile: VIN, EngineSize, NumberOfDoors, NumberOfPassengers, FuelType, Transmission
SUV: VIN, EngineSize, NumberOfPassengers, NoWheelDrive, FuelType, Transmission
Truck: VIN, EngineSize, NoWheelDrive, FuelType, Transmission, Payload

Define one vehicle entity type to hold all entities.

The property by which subtype entities possess the values of all attributes of a supertype is called:

Subtypes should be used when:

there are attributes that apply to some but not all instances of an entity type.

The process of defining one or more subtypes of a supertype and forming relationships is called:

The process of defining a more general entity type from a set of more specialized entity types is called:

Which of the following is a completeness constraint?

The ________ rule specifies that an entity instance of a supertype is allowed not to belong to any subtype.

The ________ rule specifies that each entity instance of the supertype must be a member of some subtype in the relationship.

A ________ constraint is a type of constraint that addresses whether an instance of a supertype must also be an instance of at least one subtype.

The ________ rule specifies that an entity can be a member of only one subtype at a time.

A ________ addresses whether an instance of a supertype may simultaneously be a member of two or more subtypes.

disjointedness constraint

Is the rule that specifies that an entity instance of a supertype may not simultaneously be a member of two or more subtypes?

Disjoint rule. Specifies that if an entity instance (of the supertype) is a member of one subtype, it cannot simultaneously be a member of two (or more) subtypes. Overlap rule. Specifies that an entity instance can simultaneously be a member of two (or more) subtypes.

What rule specifies that each entity instance of the supertype must be a member of some subtype in the relationship?

The disjoint rule specifies that if an entity instance of the supertype is a member of one subtype, it MUST simultaneously be a member of another subtype.

What type of constraints in Supertype that an instance of a supertype may simultaneously be a member of two or more subtypes?

Disjointness Constraints: Whether an instance of a supertype may simultaneously be a member of two (or more) subtypes.

What type of constraints in Supertype that an instance of a supertype must also be a member of at least one subtype?

Completeness Constraints: Whether an instance of a supertype must also be a p yp member of at least one subtype. b) Partial Specialization rule Figure 3-6 Examples of completeness constraints (cont.)
