For this part of the assignment, you will use the “AdventureWorks 2014 OLTP Database,” located in the Course Materials, and use the schema. Follow the tree/chain to answer the questions below in a Microsoft Word document. Entity-Relationship Diagram

1. How does the Sales.SalesTerritory table relate to the Person.StateProvince table? Which table holds the Primary and the Foreign Key? On what field do they join together?
2. If you wanted to know the planned cost of a product, what route would you take to get the data? Identify the tables and fields used to join on each.
3. Imagine a bonus was paid to an employee using a different currency. Identify the fields you would need so you could access the information. List all the tables involved, and the fields used to join.

Part 2:

For this part of the assignment, you will continue to assume you work at Adventure Works Cycles company. In the Topic 1 assignment, you requested to add a field to the company database. That request has been approved, and the database diagram needs to be updated accurately.

Create a simple Entity-Relationship Diagram ERD (using Draw.io or another similar application as approved by the instructor) demonstrating how your new table will connect to the “Human Resources.Employee” table on the diagram. Since this is a new table, add fields to create the proper relationships as you see fit.

Explain how these fields relate to the rest of the database content in a one- to two-paragraph Word document.

Compile the ERD and Word documents into a .zip file and submit to your instructor.
