Select the correct statement among the following. |
Role names are not technically necessary in relationship types when all the participating entity types are
distinct
When different entity types participate only once in a single relationship type it is called a recursive
relationship.
Cardinality ratios for binary relationship are displayed on Entity Relationship Diagrams by using a diamond
shape notation.
Partial participation which is also called existence dependency is displayed as a double line connecting the
participating entity type to the relationship.
