multivalued weak key in ER database modeling

Question

I was wondering since i didnt find out any clarification for this. I want to store movies that exist in different formats (dvd, bluray etc) and the price for each format differs from each other as well as the quantity of each format, so i came up with this:

Is this correct from a design perspective? Does this implies redundancy? I dont understand how will this be stored in a table. Would it be better to do it like this :

Thanks in advance.

EDIT : I add some more descriptive information about what i want to store in this point of the design. I want to store information about sales. Each movie that exist in the company i need to store format, price and stock quantity. I will also need to store customer information with a unique id, name, surname, address, movies that he/she has already bought and his credit card number. Finally i will have a basket that temporary keeps items (lets suppose that other items exist apart from movies) that the customer wants to buy.

Answer 1

I would use (title,prod_date) as the primary key, since movies are not uniquely identified by their title alone (remakes, for example). In my opinion, the first diagram is preferable, the sub-attribute approach in the second diagram seems a bit convoluted to me.

Answer 2

I'd put in stock something like movie_product (assuming you are not going to sell anything but movies) which can look like

movie_product (movie_product_id ,
movie_id, format_id, manufacturer_id, date_produced,
--maybe some other attributes
)

You need to decide yourself what is important to store in the context of your domain (say, you don't care about manufacturer, so there is no need to store id, or, in contrast, it's important to have a flag specifying whether it's a special edition ). Then stock may look like

stock (stock_id, movie_product, current_quantity)

I guess price is changing, to deal with it I'd track it as a separate entity :

stock_price(stock_id, date_from,date_thru, price)
