Data Modeler - How to move relationship lines?

I can't figure out how to move the relationship lines on the data modeler.
Tried a bunch of things that have worked in all the other modelers I've used, but no luck. Couldn't find anything in the help text about it, either.

Hi Jim, David,
AutoRoute (on/off) can be managed at diagram level - use right mouse click on empty space.
In current published release (AutoRoute off) - straight lines (only two connection points) cannot be moved. You need intermediate points (at least one) for better arranging. Points (Elbows ) are created using Ctrl+mouse click.
Connection points also can be moved in next EA release.

I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive

I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive
or what could i do

There are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
They have lots of parts and great manuals!
Good luck!

SQL data modeller -- how to create 1 to 1 relationship foreign key ?

hi guys...
i got 2 tables..
table 1 - CFR
CFR_ID = primary key
table 2 - USER_PLAN
USER_ID = primary key
PLAN_ID,
CFR_ID = foreign key reference (table 1)
The business flows go like this..
insdie CFR table, it contain all records / transactions of a particular user/plan. everytime a new transaction occurs for a plan/user, a new CFR_ID / row will be generated.
after which, the newly generated CFR_ID for the new row , will be updated to the CFR_ID in USER_PLAN
Thus, there is always a 1 to 1 relationship between the 2 table regardless how many CFR_ID is generated for a particular USER_PLAN. as the CFR_ID in the USEr_plan table will always be the latest one generated inside the CFR table.
However, in the data modeller, i am unable to create such foreign key relationship... ANY idea how do i create a 1 on 1 foreign key relationship ? or there is no such way..
Thanks and Best Regards,
Noob

Hi philips,
Thanks for the wonderful reply..
Just to double comfirm with you,
even if i had set a unique constraint on CFR_ID(foreign key column), inside the relationship model, the relationship between the foreign key is still showing as a 1:m relationship right ?
just that a character 'U' will appear beside the CFR_ID column.
However the diagraphm is still showing a 1:M relationship.
is this correct ?
Regards,
Noob

Data Modeler: How to prevent auto surrogate key in supertype/subtypes?

When forward engineering supertype/subtypes, how can I prevent the automatic creation of a surrogate key (propagated to all super/subs)? Data Modeler creates this SK only at the relational level. I have already defined a surrogate identifier in the logical; the intent is to engineer this to the relational model and propagate to each subtype.
Thanks,
Patrick

Thank you Philip for the explanation. I'd like to dig into this a little deeper, as I may be misinterpreting your explanation, and especially the last bit ( "...but foreign keys from subtype table to super-type table are not created" ).
My preferred super/subtype implementation consists of a supertype parent table (ideally with a [manually created] discriminator code value) and any number of subtype child tables, all referencing the parent (via FK column/RI). Note that RI is from the supertype/parent to each subtype/child table, not the other way round as Designer docs suggest (one of three different approaches: all-inclusive single-table, detail tables only, master/detail w/ RI from child to parent [arced]). The implementation I suggest ("the fourth way") allows the painless addition of a new subtype simply by creating a new child table and a new discriminator value for the parent. I've had consistent success using this approach with Designer for many years.
I've verified this successfully with a bare bones logical (3 levels), with appropriate UID on supertype/parent. All seems to transform well to relational model (i.e., all tables have inherited the parent PK, and individual attributes transformed to columns in the appropriate tables). The transform did not include a SurrogateID column.
However, the transform doesn't work quite so well in my full-blown Party model, even though I ensured that a UID was defined on the logical supertype/parent. also confirmed that Hierarchy relationships are defined between supertypes and subtypes. What else could I be doing wrong that causes the transform to create a SurrogateID column on each super/subtype table?
And on a similar note: are you suggesting that SQLDev Modeler transforms a supertype/subtype hierarchy with RI from detail tables to the parent table (i.e., backwards) when selecting "Table for each entity"? This approach would require a new FK column added to the parent table whenever a new subtype table was required.

Hi,
I'd like to know how to use T-code OS41: data modeler, when do I need to use it? and How to use? Please kindly help.

Hi Steve
<b>SD11-Data Modeler</b> is used, as its name implies, to model your processes.
You can create entity types, connect tables or views to those entities, implement connections between entities and if needed, you can also insert business objects all in a hierarchical way. You can connect data models to each other as well.
By this way, you document your own processes containing also some technical perspective.
Hope this small piece will give some basic understanding.

Data model - is tables and relationships between them are graph or tree

Hello
I want to ask if tables in database are nodes of graph what should this graph looks like - like real graph (with
cycles) or tree ?
Let the tables are nodes of graph and the relationships between the tables are edges in the graph.

You can put the \ tag before and after text to preserve white space. That likely makes things easier to read if you're trying to post ASCII graphs.
I wouldn't hesitate to use the proper set of tables and relationships for the entities I was trying to model. Would I be concerned if my data model were full of loops? Sure, that might cause me to double-check that I hadn't done something silly. Would I be concerned if my data model had a loop if that was the best way to model something? Not at all.
There is no theoretical answer because the quality of a data model has nothing to do with whether it is more tree-like or more graph-like.

How to move wax line down?

Thanks for the reply but nothing happens on my iMac using those keys.
There are global shortcuts, which should work in all apps; there are Cocoa text engine shortcuts, which should work in all apps which use the Cocoa text engine; and there are app shortcuts. How a specific app responds to a command such as Page Up is not necessarily under the OS control.
The shortcuts indicated by Don Archibald are correct. How any specific app responds is another matter. So tell us exactly what app (and version) you are using and maybe we'll be able to help.
I did find that on my MBP fn and up or down arrows did move a page at a time
For some keys, and for obvious reasons, on the MBP fn is similar to control.

Data Modeler - how can I define a foreign key but disabled

I am using SQL Developer Data Modeler Version 2.0.0 Build 570 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
When defining a foreign key constraint, is there a way to define it as disabled?
When the DDL script is generated, the constraint is defined but it is always enabled, I want it to be disabled.
This is possible in the Jdeveloper data modeler, but I am missing the method to do this in SQL Developer Data Modeler.
Any help appreciated.

If you are generating the DDL edit the ENABLED keyword to DISABLED

SQL Developer Data Modeler- Creating super/subtype relationship

The User's Guide does not tell you how to create super/subtype relationship.
To create super/subtype relationship in a logical model, you must already have the two candidate entities; one to be the supertype, the other subtype.
- on the logical model diagram, right click the candidate subtype and select Properties
- on the Entity Properties dialog box, select the candidate supertype from the Super Entity drop-down list, then OK
Depending on whether you enable or disable the Box-in-box Presentation on your logical diagram, the subtype would be shown inside or outside its supertype entity, respectively

Hi Peter,
When I examine an XML file for a relation converted from version 2.0, the XML elements "nameOnSource" and "nameOnTarget" are missing in the converted 3.0 EA1 versionthey are not loaded during "open" of older design. If you define them they will go into XML file.

Data Modeler - How to add foreign keys to physical model?

I imported few tables from data dictionary and tried to generate a DDL file. The DDL didn't include foreign keys for some reason. Then I noticed that the foreign keys are in the relational model but not in the physical model. How do I get those foreign keys to the physical model?

That's the place where I'm looking for the foreign keys in physical model. I noticed that in relational model the Generate check box of a foreign key was unchecked. When I checked it, the key appeared in the physical model. But why is it unchekced sometimes? This has happened only few times, usually the foreign keys do appear in the physical model. If I do something special during import, I don't know what it is...

Data Modeller: how to create and use collection type

Hello,
basically subj. I'm not clear how to ( for example ) create and use the data type based off the varray data type.
Please advise.
thank you
andrew

Hi Andrew,
you can create collection types (varray/table) in two ways:
1) in browser - find "Data Types">"Collection types" node use pop-up menu - it's just "create new collection type" there
2) in Data types model diagram - you can create collection of "certain structured type" or collection of references to it - use "new Collection ..." tool and first click on referred structured type and after that on structured type that will hold the collection - new attribute is added in latter type and if there is no such collection type already defined new collection type is created and you can edit it later.
