Thanks to all.


I've done some googling (among others I liked the explanations of CJ Date).



At the end, there is no strict boundary between an entity and a
relationship: a relationship can become an entity if needed.



As for the usefulness of the E/R model, it may be a question of taste. I
prefer to see the physical design of a database + some textual
explanantions.
