Which type of relationship is represented by a crow's foot notation in a physical data model?
Full set: 356 questionsIn entity-relationship diagrams using crow's foot notation, the "crow's foot" symbol (a three-pronged fork) represents the "many" side of a relationship. A line connecting two entities with a single perpendicular tick on one end and a crow's foot on the other visually depicts a one-to-many relationship. This notation clearly indicates that one record in the first entity can be associated with multiple records in the second entity.
A. Subtype/Supertype relationships are typically represented with a circle and a line, indicating an "is-a" relationship, not a crow's foot.
C. A Many-to-Many relationship is represented by a crow's foot at both ends of the relationship line, not just one.
D. A One-to-One relationship is typically represented by a single perpendicular tick at both ends of the relationship line.
