You have been hired by ACME Global Consulting to procure requirements for a large database. In developing database management systems, E-R models are used to graphically depict complex relationships between entities. In this assignment, you are to convince a set of clients of the benefits of using an E-R model in developing a database. Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
1. List the advantages of a relational model specific to ACME Global Consulting.
2. Summarize in your own words the purpose of an E-R model specific to ACME Global Consulting.
3. List and describe essential components of the model such as entities, attributes, keys, relationships, roles, and dependencies specific to ACME Global Consulting.
4. Describe the need for the enhanced E-R model and how we can create sophisticated models to help us in complex environments.
5. Outline and describe the advantage of using the relational model.
6. Create an E-R diagram using graphical depicting software that could theoretically be used in a restaurant application. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Acceptable software used to depict the solution includes any drawing tool, such as Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Paint, open source alternatives or similar drawing tools.
