Relationships with attributes

Weak Entity vs. Relationship

Another way to think about it:

  • There can be a Credit Card that has never been used for any purchase.

  • There can be a Product that has never been bought.

  • There can be a Vendor that has never sold anything.

  • But there cannot be a Purchase that is not related to some Credit Card, Vendor, Product.
