The Enhanced E-R (EER) ModelThe Enhanced E-R (EER) Model
EER model is used to identify the model that has resulted form extending the original ER model with these new modeling constructs. These extensions make the EER model semantically similar to object-oriented data modeling.

Why EER Model?
• Business environment has changed dramatically– Business relationships become more complex, so
is business data– Business rules thus need a more powerful
modeling mechanism.• Object oriented database technology• Change in database technique is expensive

Attribute Inheritance
• The property by which subtype entities inherit values of all attributes of the supertype– Attributes that are shared by all entities are
associated with the supertype– Attributes that are unique to a particular subtype are
associated with that subtype.• An entity instance of a subtype represents the
same entity instance of the supertype.– A member of a subtype must be a member of the
supertype– Not necessary vice versa

When to use supertype/subtype relationships?
• There are attributes that apply to only some instances of an entity.– Result in many Null values
• The instances of a subtype participate in a relationship unique to that subtype
