SQL Relationship Cardinality in Logical Design -

-

i have following issue. working on system shuttle service company. now, part of entities in database system include numerous lookup tables (such vehicle_type, employee_status, etc), other tables, such vehicle , vehicle_service log.

now issue team having cannot agree on logical relationship cardinalities between entities should be. 2 main problem relationships include tables defined follows: 

create table if not exists `user_type` (   `type_id` tinyint(4) not null auto_increment,   `description` varchar(200) not null,   primary key (`type_id`) ) engine=innodb  default charset=latin1 comment='store user types - employee  or consultant' auto_increment=1 ;

which linked 

create table if not exists `user` (   `user_id` int(11) not null auto_increment,   `username` varchar(100) not null,   `password` varchar(100) not null,   `user_type` tinyint(4) not null,   primary key (`user_id`),   key `user_type` (`user_type`),   key `username` (`username`),   key `login` (`username`,`password`) ) engine=innodb  default charset=latin1 comment='table used when logging in  check access level, type of user, etc. ' auto_increment=1 ;

the user table includes other irrelevant data. issue here (because mysql workbench reverse engineered way , makes more sense) relationship should 1-many, while team member says should 0-many (because records may exist in user_type table aren't used in user table)

the other table relationship having words defined follows: 

create table if not exists `vehicle` (   `vehicle_id` int(11) not null auto_increment,   `registration_number` varchar(10) not null,   primary key (`vehicle_id`),   unique key `registration_number` (`registration_number`), ) engine=innodb  default charset=latin1 comment='actual vehicle information'  auto_increment=1 ;

again, other columns not relative question. links 

create table if not exists `service_log` (   `id` int(11) not null auto_increment,   `vehicle_id` int(11) not null,   `description` text not null,   `date` date not null,   `cost` double not null,   primary key (`id`),   key `vehicle_id` (`vehicle_id`) ) engine=innodb default charset=latin1 comment='store records of services  vehicles' auto_increment=1 ;

should 1-many or 0-many because vehicle may not yet go in service? according me should 1-many, don't know if works logically.

we confused whole logical modelling thing, appreciated!

i figured easier me create db first , reverse engineer physical model, never though logical.

zero many if optional. example sales rep have 0 or many customer. why that? because if there new sales rep mean he/she has no customer begin unless of course he/she assume accounts of resigned sales rep.

on other hand 1 or many mandatory. example order has order date , customer ordered should have @ least 1 record on order detail table. let's customer ordered tablet last 04/22/2013 he/she have:

 order table  ----------------------------------------  orderid.  orderdate. customermnum  ----------------------------------------   1.       04/22/2013 101   order detail table  ----------------------------------------  orderid.  productid.  qty.   quotedprice  ----------------------------------------   1.       t101       1       500

so, in case user usertype 1 0 or many beacause user type may have not been used user yet.

now, vehicle service 1 0 or many since vehicle may not have service done yet.

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...
