pootle, you scare me
the extra E in EER stands for Entity?
so EER = entity entity relationship? "Are you sure?" (see below)
Two molecules are walking down the street and they run in to each other. One says to the other, "Are you all right?"
"No, I lost an electron!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive!"

Nah - I was talking nonsense of course. I was going to argue that the extra E is just relative but I think that is just too weak.
You know - I googled it last night and (I must have been tired) I was sure it came up as Entity Entity Relationship which I thought was jolly goofy. Of course, someone over night has rearranged the world wide web or maybe "they" hacked google or something because it now comes up as Extended Entity Relationship.

I think the extra E stands for Extreme. It is done on skateboards, being towed behind motorcycles.

I think it stands for "electronic", much like the extra "E" in "eCommerce". Or was it "esoteric"? ;-)

actually, i asked a very close friend of mine who happens to be an MCDBA, and the correct answer (as all readers of The Daily WTF know) is enterprise
it's an Enterprise Entity Relationship diagram
which is, like, so totally better than a simple ER diagram

I though an ER diagram was just a floor plan for a hospital emergency room.

Enterprise Entity Relationship? Is this a trekkie thing? Your data model is illogical, captain.
blindman, wasn't there a movie The Best Little Data Whorehouse In Texas? I'm sure it had lots of stars in it.

HAHA come on guys
ER is really ERD which stands for Entity Relationship Diagram and the EERD stands for Enhanced Entity Relationship Diagram. Trust me I am a database administrator. Hope this helps
