Hi everyone, I just wanted to put up some discussion to see your view regarding this point in the project. So we do have this point here in the scenario. For each make of car, the daily rental tariff ($ 3) is recorded for each of the tariff types

So I assume we can infer a weak entity “make” like this Image

Since we already have a weak entity named “Make” then we should put that in our entity data dictionary. So we can at least show it like this. Image

So currently we have like this redundancy, I think we can swap out “make” in vehicle to use the “make_name from our make entity Image

So the relationship will somehow become like this Image

However, since we have already removed the make, won’t that mean in the atttribute dictionary vehicle will lose the “make” field (since we cannot put foreign key because we are still in conceptual stage)? Image

I wanted to know if some of you maybe have different opinion or different way to solve this.
