Importing multiple column names to Logical Model

I have approximately 2,000 column names to import into a new logical model and create my glossary. The names are in currently in .xls format. Is there an easy/efficient way to do this or must I enter each into the logical model attributes? Maybe a way to cut/paste multiple columns into the logical model?
Thanks...

Hi,
it's not clear what are you trying to achieve:
I have approximately 2,000 column names to import into a new logical model are you trying to create attributes in logical model - you also need entities that will contain these attributes.
and create my glossary. The names are in currently in .xls format.or you want to create glossary from your file. You need to transform your file in following format and import it in glossary editor using ERwin txt format:
COUNTRY,CTRY,
IDENTIFICATION,ID,
REGION,REG,
DEPARTMENT,DEPT,
Maybe a way to cut/paste multiple columns into the logical model?if you have tables with columns in relational model then you can use "Engineer to logical model" functionality to get entities and attributes in logical model.

How do i change column names in oracle model?

Hi,
I am performing a migration from SQL SERVER 7.0 to Oracle 8.1.7.
I have tables that have tables in SQL SERVER with column names
that are "TYPE" and "BODY".(These are generally TEXT datatype
columns that need to be converted to LONG in Oracle.We need
these to be LONG datatype in Oracle because of an application we
are using. LOBS cannot be allowed)
The migration utility renames these columns as "TYPE_"
and "BODY_" and creates the tables in the Oracle Database.
I need to have these tables in Oracle with the same column names
viz. "TYPE" and "BODY" .
I can create new tables in Oracle with the column names "TYPE"
and "BODY" but cannot change the options in the migration
workbench for this.
Is there any option or any workaround I can use to change the
column names in the Oracle model?or set the options so that the
Oracle model tables donot modify these column names?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Mandar

The words 'TYPE' and 'BODY' are reserved Oracle words. Its best
to go along with what the workbench has suggested. If you have
to keep the original names of the columns trying wrapping double
quotes around them after the data migration is complete. This
may cause a case sensitivity or referential problem later on
though.

JTable column names with custom model

I'm having problems with column names in a JTable which uses a custom model. For some reason, the colums are being shown as A, B, C etc. The data, however, displays fine.
This is the code which constructs the table.
MyTableModel tableModel = new MyTableModel(myArrayList);
myTable = new JTable(tableModel);
myTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
myTable.setFillsViewportHeight(true);This is the class, MyTableModel
class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
        private ArrayList<Account> data;
        private String[] colNames = {"", "Name","Type","Group","Created","Modified"};
        public MyTableModel(ArrayList<Account> data) {
            this.data = data;
        public int getRowCount() {
            return data.size();
        public int getColumnCount() {
            return 6;
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
            Account account = (Account)data.get(row);
            switch(col) {
                case 0:
                    return account.getIcon();
                case 1:
                    return account.getName();
                case 2:
                    return account.getType();
                case 3:
                    return account.getGroup();
                case 4:
                    return account.getDateCreated();
                case 5:
                    return account.getDateModified();
                default:
                    return "";
        public String getColumName(int index) {
         System.out.println("N:"+colNames[index]);
            return colNames[index];
    }When the table is displayed, nothing's displayed to the console, but I'd have thought getColumnName would print the current column name. Am I missing something obvious?

Oh great. I'll go back under my rock.
Thanks =)

How to change "Relation UID" attribute name in logical model?

Beginner question here, sorry if it has been covered already.
In the Logical model in Data Modeler, how do I change an attribute name which is used as a "Relation UID"?
For example, I create two entities each with a Primary UID called "id", then create a 1:1 relationship. Each entity will now have an attribute called "id1" marked as a Relation UID, but I can find no way to change the attribute's name. Is there a way?
Thanks.

Hi GuyM,
you need to check setting in preferences - "Data Modeler>Model>logical" - FK attribute name synchronization - clear the check box if you want to set the name manually.

Retrieving multiple column names from a Primary/Export key ResultSet

ALTER TABLE "APP"."FLIGHTAVAILABILITY" ADD CONSTRAINT "FLIGHTAVAIL_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("FLIGHT_ID", "SEGMENT_NUMBER", "FLIGHT_DATE");
I am looking at the above statement and from the DDL statements of the database i am working with and the most information I can get out of the meta data is this
APP FLIGHTAVAILABILITY FLIGHT_DATE 3 FLIGHTAVAIL_PK
How important are the other two columns to this primary key
same for the export key meta data
FLIGHTAVAILABILITY FLIGHT_ID 1 3 3 FLIGHTS_FK2 FLIGHTS_PK 7
yet
ALTER TABLE "APP"."FLIGHTAVAILABILITY" ADD CONSTRAINT "FLIGHTS_FK2" FOREIGN KEY ("FLIGHT_ID", "SEGMENT_NUMBER") REFERENCES "APP"."FLIGHTS" ("FLIGHT_ID", "SEGMENT_NUMBER") ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION;
there are 2 columns referenced for the Foreign key to be generated and I can only retrieve info for the one foreign key.

Column Prefix from Logical to Relational Model

Hi,
is there any option, that data modeler append an prefix (table short name) to a column, when the logical model will be transformed to relational model? (Same behavior as Oracle Designer)
Example:
Logical Model
TABLE: PERSON
TABLE-SHORT: PERS
COLUMN-1: ID
COLUMN-1: NAME
Relational-Model
TABLE: PERSON
COLUMN-1: PERS_ID
COLUMN-2: PERS_NAME
Kind Regards,
Stefan

Thanks for your answer!
This Script is not really working for me, because of our foreign keys.
All our Foreign-Keys are named "ID" (for nummeric column) or "INDEX" (for a varchar column). After the transformation form logical to relational all the foreign-keys are named like "ID1", "ID2", "ID3", "INDEX1", "INDEX2" etc.
There is no way to apply this script before the foreign-keys where added in the tables?
The Second Way is to create a new script for this task.
am i the only one with this problem? :-/

Logical Model Names

Is there anyway to show logical names in the logical model for the attributes? I can see that you can enter a synonym and it shows that but for the attributes it doesn't seem to be a way to show logical names in the same manner.
Other tools allow you to display business names, not names with underscores, in the logical model. I am looking to do the same thing with Data Modeler. Without this ability, the logical pretty much looks like the physical.

In that case where does the logical name get displayed in the logical model? I suspect the answer is somewhat similar in that you would enter the logical name and then transform to the physical.Correct. Why do you need to use physical names in logical model? You can use preferred abbreviation property in order to override translation with glossary. In this way you can have several relational models with different names in each one. Then you can create physical models and change the names in them depending on implementation specifics.

Entity name showing all upper case only in Logical Model

Hi,
Are there any options to show entity names in Logical Model as they were typed in? Both 2.0 and 3.0 will display "Customer" as all caps "CUSTOMER".
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you need to change the used notation - all caps is used for Barker notation

How to show relation attribute on logical model

Hi.
How to show child entity relation attributes on logical model?
Entity properties attribute list contains relation attributes, LM dont show they.
I have model with several subviews. I need to show some entity without related entities but need to save "semantic" of relations on this subview. When relation attributes does not visible - no information about invisible relations on this subview.
I can create my own visible attribute like "reference to customer" to make sense the relation with entity "Customer". This case problem is relation attribute presents in entity implicitly and relation model have 2 attribute - my own and generated FK column.
In logical model i can`t replace child table relation attribute to my own "visible" attribute.
In relational model i should redefine FK manually. Transformation script is posible but very odd way.
Any advice appreciated.

I am confused.
I think the legacy Oracle Designer Barker notation could show reation attributes optional or by default, int`t it?
Thanks a lot anyway.

Is it possible to Merge Entities in Logical Model ?

There is no option for consolidating folders into one. Why would you want to would be my question, but since you think you do, then you can drag-and-drop a group of selected photos to a new folder if you want and repeat this for each subfolder.
You can also just turn on View Photos in Subfolders option to see all of the photos in one grid or thumbnail strip without physically moving them around.
It might also work to turn on viewing of photos in subfolders and then highlighting all of them and dragging and dropping them into the consolidation folder. I haven’t tried this, nor do I intend to, though.

GROUP BY with multiple columns.

I have little query about GROUP BY clause.
Sometimes we will give multiple column names in GROUP BY .If it behaves in the same way as ORDER BY (multiple columns) i would love to have an example where I can use GROUP BY multiple columns. Anyways howsoever it behaves it will be really appreciated if anyone can explain a scenario where GROUP BY with multiple columns can be used.
I know about the usage of aggregate functions with GROUP BY but using only one column.
Thanks..!!!

Hi,
Group by is used for grouping of same records. check this bellow scenario
SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, age FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22;
22     1/23/1975     54
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66SELECT registrationid, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid;
22     384SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid, dateofbirth ;
22     5/18/2011     330

Help obtaining physical model dim level column name please

I admit I haven't read all scripting posts (yet), nonetheless someone may be gracious enough to help me with understanding the object property structure involving physical model dimension level column names.
I imported the following from an 11g instance using a dictionary import (not a DDL file import) into a virgin 3.1.1 data modeler:
create table a_dim as select 1 key, 1 payload from dual;
create dimension a_dim
level level_1 is a_dim.key
The following Transformer Rhino Javascript succinctly exhibits my ignorance:
importPackage(Packages.javax.swing);
function test_get_dim_level_column_name(o)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, model.getDesign().getRelationalDesign().getSorageDesigns().toArray()[0].getDimensionSet().toArray()[0].getLevelSet()[0]);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, model.getDesign().getRelationalDesign().getSorageDesigns().toArray()[0].getDimensionSet().toArray()[0].getLevelSet()[0].getColumnSet());
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, model.getDesign().getRelationalDesign().getSorageDesigns().toArray()[0].getDimensionSet().toArray()[0].getLevelSet()[0].getColumnSet().toArray()[0]);
The first result is LEVEL_1 as one would expect but the next two results are: B1ECDFB1-FE64-F728-8AB4-A5E7F098D02D rather than KEY.
I tried prosaic attacks such as getName() and I tried the abstruse things including determining that the class of this hex stringified result is: oracle.dbtools.crest.model.design.storage.oracle.LevelOracle$InlineList
My object inspection of this thingy left me clueless.

Re: “what are you trying to do?
- In the small: learn your object model and distill my ignorance into minimalist expositions
- In the large: The current reverse engineering from Oracle physical dimensional models to the MD model level has worked for me en masse but it seems to be unsuited for incremental development. Also subviews are not supported at the MD level. My goal is to create a transformer script to engineer selected Oracle physical model dimensions to multiple blank MD models and then manually add my subject area fact tables of interest. I expect to develop dozens, if not hundreds, of MD models.
Re: “Did you read README.rtf file in xmlmetadata\doc directory?
- No, I didn’t until this morning – it seems to be new with 3.1.1 since I don’t see it in the integrated SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.07 – thank you.
Re: “level.getColumns() - String is equal to level.getColumnset.toString() - it should return comma separated values (usually one) representing object ID
then when you get ID you can use model.getStorageDesign().getStorageObject( ID ) to get the object - the last is written in README.rtf file.
- Using your forum remarks and reading the README.rtf I was inspired to find my sought after “KEY” column name using:
var colid = model.getDesign().getRelationalDesign().getSorageDesigns().toArray()[0].getDimensionSet().toArray()[0].getLevelSet()[0].getColumnSet().toArray()[0];
var colname = model.getDesign().getRelationalDesign().getSorageDesigns().toArray()[0].getStorageObject(colid);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,colname);
- Thank you for helping with this indirection through the object IDs.
Some remarks en passant:
1)     Nit: getSorageDesigns should be getStorageDesigns as you likely have noted
2)     The developer workflow is clumsy – i.e. having to repeatedly open/close “Custom Libraries” slows down my iterative development. It be nice if I could leave it open
3)     In the integrated SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.07,: alt-T(ools) / alt-D(ata) Modeler does not allow progress into submenus
Thank you Philip.

SQL Datamodeler: engineer to relational model: column names

Hello
Suppose I have an attribute called DAY OF BIRTH. Is there a way I can forward engineer this attribute to a column name DAY_OF_BIRTH?
(I know you could have a coulmn name "day of birth" but thats not what I want)
Regards Erik

Hi Erik,
1) you should check separator settings in General options>Naming Standard -it should be "space" for Logical model and "underscore" for Relational model;
2) "Apply name translation" should be selected in engineering dialog
Best regards,
Philip

Define fields names in relation at logical model

Hi all,
Image
On a Logical Model, I have 2 entitys, Events and Menu, and has 2 relations.
When Engineer to Relational, creates 2 new fields in my Events Table, Menu_ID, Menu_ID1. There are some way, in the relation at logical model, to specify the names of the final fields, to avoid to change it later at relational model?
Regards.
