To create an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) based on the metadata you provided for your video rental store database, follow these steps: Step 1: Identify Entities From your metadata, the entities are: Customer Movie Distributor Copy Actor Director Award Movie_Actor (junction table) Movie_Director (junction table) Step 2: Define Relationships Next, establish the relationships between these entities: Customer can rent multiple Copies (1 to many). Movie can have multiple Copies (1 to many). Distributor supplies multiple Movies (1 to many). Copy is linked to one Movie (many to 1). Actor can act in multiple Movies (many to many, hence the Movie_Actor table). Director can direct multiple Movies (many to many, hence the Movie_Director table). Movie can win multiple Awards (1 to many). Step 3: Create the ERD Using a diagramming tool (like Lucidchart, Draw.io, or even pen and paper), represent the entities as rectangles and the relationships as lines connecting them. Label the lines to indicate the nature of the relationship (1:1, 1:M, M:N). Example ERD Structure Customer (1) ---- (M) Copy Movie (1) ---- (M) Copy Distributor (1) ---- (M) Movie Movie (M) ---- (M) Actor (via Movie_Actor) Movie (M) ---- (M) Director (via Movie_Director) Movie (1) ---- (M) Award Final Notes Make sure to include primary keys (PK) and foreign keys (FK) in your ERD to clarify the relationships. If you need a visual representation or further assistance with specific software tools to create the ERD, le
