What is an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)?
An entity relationship diagram (ERD) shows the relationships of entity sets stored in a database. An entity in this context is an object, a component of data. An entity set is a collection of similar entities. These entities can have attributes that define its properties.
ER diagrams are used to sketch out the design of a database.
