Best answer 4 4 votes Weak entity normally can be identified in connection with strong entity also . They are connected by an identifying relation. But it does not mean that it should always have duplicates . it need not be always multi set Sankaranarayanan P.N answered Nov 12, 2014 • selected May 1, 2015 by Arjun Sankaranarayanan P.N comment Share Follow See 1 comment 1 1 comment reply ubibhatt commented Nov 2, 2019 reply Follow flag Can you be more clear on your answer, plz? 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
