Problems solved by technology

The obvious problem is: when importing the E-R data file exported from one system to another system, if the E-R data file is very large, in order to prevent errors in the relationship between entities after importing, it must be imported according to the system to be imported. Reorganizing the data structure of the E-R data file is very time-consuming and consumes a lot of storage resources to store entities that are read from the E-R data file but cannot be imported immediately

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of databases, in particular to a method and a system for importing E-R (entity-relationship) model data by utilizing dependency relationships in an E-R model data pattern. The method for importing the E-R model data includes: receiving an exported E-R model data file and the E-R model data pattern; determining a dependency relationship type of each entity in the data file according to the data pattern, wherein the dependency relationship types include at least one of irrelevant type, weakly relevant type or strongly relevant type; according to the determined dependency relationship type, correspondingly importing each entity in the E-R model data file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of databases. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for importing E-R model data by utilizing dependency information in the E-R model data schema. Background technique [0002] An Entity-Relationship (E-R) model is a semantic model that is useful in mapping real-world meanings and interrelationships to conceptual schemas. The E-R model uses three basic concepts: entity set, relationship set and attribute. [0003] Generally speaking, there are three possible situations for the association relationship (or "dependency relationship") between entities in the E-R model data. One is a strong association relationship, which means that an entity type is linked to another entity N (N>=1) instances of the type. In other words, an entity has a property that has another entity type with at least 1 of that property. For example, the entity "student" has the attribute "name", and ...
