2) [60 pts] The Prescriptions-R-X chain of pharmacies has offered to give you a free lifetime supply of
medicine if you design its database. Given the rising cost of health care, you agree. Here’s the information
that you gather:
 Patients are identified by an SSN, and their names, addresses, birthdate, and ages must be recorded.
 Doctors are identified by an SSN. For each doctor, the name, specialty, and years of experience must
be recorded. Doctors have one or more specialties.
 Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number.
 For each drug, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by a given
pharmaceutical company, and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products of
that company. If a pharmaceutical company is deleted, you need not keep track of its products any
longer.
 Each pharmacy has a name, address, and phone number. Address is composed of city, state, and
zipcode.
 Every patient has a primary physician. Every doctor has at least one patient.
 Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies,
and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.
 Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several patients,
and a patient could obtain prescriptions from several doctors. Each prescription has a date and a
quantity associated with it. You can assume that, if a doctor prescribes the same drug for the same
patient more than once, only the last such prescription needs to be stored.
 Pharmaceutical companies have long-term contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can
contract with several pharmacies, and a pharmacy can contract with several pharmaceutical
companies. For each contract, you have to store a start date, an end date, and the text of the contract.
 Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each
contract, but the contract supervisor can change over the lifetime of the contract.

a) Draw an ER diagram that captures the preceding information. Identify any constraints not captured by
the ER diagram.
b) How would your design change if each drug must be sold at a fixed price by all pharmacies?
c) How would your design change if the design requirements change as follows: If a doctor prescribes the
same drug for the same patient more than once, several such prescriptions may have to be stored.
