E-R Diagram Design:

Hello everyone, today I want to start our tutorials with some important discussion. A visitor asked me that, I am learning PHP but I don’t completed all PHP essential tutorials. Am I capable of reading PHP blog tutorials. I say that it is very tough to understand some concepts before learning PHP basic concept. So I say that at first try to learn PHP basic tutorial then try our blog creation tutorials.    

So now turn our main PHP blog creation tutorials. Today I show you how to draw the entity relationship diagram for PHP blog. So at first you need to know what is E-R diagram. Entity Relationship diagram is a diagram that show you the relation between the entity. E-R diagram helps us to design our blog database. It is a part of database design.
Think that a user make a comment in our blog. User and Comments is two entity of our PHP blog. So that, there is a relation between user and comments entity because user make comments. So the diagram is 

We use a arrow sign to the comment box because user make comment. User comment is depenedent on user but user is not dependent on comment. For this reason, we use signle arrow. If the relation is two way then we use two way arrow. We just draw our concept now we make relation between those fields by following way.

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
