Oracle SQL Data Modeler -COMPARE/MERGE

Hi all,
I am trying to compare/merge or just trying to merge a relation model with another in Oracle SQL Developer DATA MODELER.
Scenario:
I have tried to import from data dictionary the hr schema into 3 parts.
Table employee is alone imported in one design model's relational model(say DataModelerDesign1- DMD1).
Table Departments,Locations and Countries in another design model's relational model(say DMD2).
Table Job_history,Jobs and Regions in another design model's relational model(say DMD3).
Now, I tried to merge all this into one design model's relational model, here into DMD3.
Requirement:
I want all of this relational model's tables to get merged with exact mappings as if it is in HR schema all connected to each other. But they are all getting merged as separate entities not conencted to each other when taken from Compare/merge option. How should i do this task?
Issues:
1) I can never see anything in the compare model when i try to click on view compare mapping. Can anytime we see any data here?
2) In realtime scenario, when will we try to merge a table into another or split it. Because some foriegn key violations are happening here. Is it ever possible to succeed our requirement while merging itself instead of creating relationships between entities manually in main relationship model DMD3 in example here.

I have found on occasions the diagram pdf would be missing a few relationship lines. Usually it happens after I have been doing a lot of work in the tool or printing a bunch of diagrams. Seems to be a memory leak of some sort. If I close Data Modeler, re-open it, then print to PDF, the diagram is fine.

  • Open Toad Data Modeler diagram with SQL Data Modeler

    hi, I've made a diagram with TOAD Data Modeler in Windows. Now I'm working with Linux, so I need a portable application to work with. Oracle SQL Data Modeler seems to be the solution to my problems, but I can't open/import my TOAD's diagrams into SQL Data Modeler.
    Anyone knows how to do it?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Neuquino,
    there is no import from TOAD Data Modeler. You can generate DDL script with TOAD DM and import that script.

  • Oracle 11gR2 support in SQL Data Modeler

    Hi ,
    I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughs on following.
    We find some interesting features in Oracle 11gR2, but I am trying to figureout, which of those are feasible on SQL data Modeler.
    Eg. Virtual Column on table definition. Are we able to model this in SQL data Modeler?
    What is the best way to do that?
    Any idea?
    Thanks in helping us out.

    Hi,
    If you don't set the datatype (i.e. leave it as "unknown", or set it back to "unknown"), it will generate
    TEST_V AS ( CASE WHEN EVENT_NAME = 'XXXX' THEN 'MMMM' ELSE 'KKKK' END )
    The Oracle 11gR2 documentation for the virtual_column_definition clause notes that "The keyword VIRTUAL is optional and for syntactic clarity."
    So the fact that Data Modeler does not output the keyword VIRTUAL does not make any difference to the effect of the SQL statement.

  • Oracle Designer to SQL Data Modeller Migration

    Hi
    We would like to migrate our artifacts from Oracle Designer to SQL Data Modeller
    Does anybody here have experience with that and things that i should be aware of that is possible with Designer but need to be handled differently in Modeller.

  • Generation of DDL similar to Oracle Designer (Data Modeler 3.0 EA1.)

    Hi,
    Will the production version of SQL Data Modeler allow the creation of separate DDL files similar to that which Oracle Designer does? For example, I can create a sequence number generator in Data Modeler (DM) and then make a call to that in an Object Type method. However the DDL file that is generated by DM has all DDL in one file. This would allow to take dependencies were taken into consideration, that is create the sequences before object types, packages and tables, then object type bodies, package bodies, etc...
    Thanks,
    ScottK

    At this stage we do not support multiple files. We do plan to do this in the future. However you can work around this by repeating the DDL generation for the different objects types you want to have files for.
    Remember that you can vote on the Exchange for your most desired features.

  • SQL Data Modeler Methodology

    What methodology is guiding the overall systems analysis approach behind SQL Data Modeler? The Help documentation seems to be based on some methodology, but it is unfamiliar to me. Zachman is not a methodology, Bachman is an ERD notation, and OMG MOF and Common Data Warehouse specs deal with data interchange. By methodology I mean a systematic set of steps and deliverables that a CASE tool, such as SQL Data Modeler, is supposed to support. An example methodologies would be Oracle*Case Method developed by Oracle in the 90's (no longer current), or support of the UML approach.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank you Philip,
    We are doing reports in TOAD and Cognos 8.
    So far so good. One of the pieces of information I need out of the Oracle Data Modeler reporting schema is the columns in foreign keys. Foreign keys are not usually enforced in datamarts but data analysts must know what the foreign keys are to join tables.
    There is a notation in Relational Model Elements.pdf "Foreign keys of DMR_CONSTR_INDEX_COLUMNS table are not valid since one column is used to refer to objects in two different tables"
    This begs the question: Is there a valid foreign key in DMRS_CONSTR_INDEX_COLUMNS to join it to DMRS_FOREIGNKEYS or is the model documented incorrectly?
    The repository adds tremendous value to Data Modeler.

  • SQL Data Modeler Terms and Definitions

    Hello All,
    I am new to using the SQL Data Modeler and I was wondering if someone could point me to a list of definitions of terms that are used throughout the SQL Data Modeler interface. The help documentation does not seem to define most of the terms that are used in the product.
    Thanks in advance,
    Craig

    The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler help and the Data Modeler User's Guide, which shares content with the help, don't contain a glossary or list of terms. If the terms you're looking for are Oracle Database terms (such as definitions of tables and other database objects), the SQL Developer help and its user's guide do include brief definitions (in the Database Objects topic).
    For other kinds of terms, the Data Modeler help does point to the Object Management Group (OMG) site, and perhaps the OMG Terms and Acronyms page ( http://www.omg.org/gettingstarted/terms_and_acronyms.htm) might help you. However, there's no guarantee that those definitions will completely apply to the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler tool.
    For definitions or explanations of specific terms of interest, I recommend searching for (or using the Table of Contents to find) the relevant topics. You can also ask about specific terms or about terms in general in the Data Modeler discussion forum: SQL Developer Data Modeler forum: SQL Developer Data Modeler

  • SQL Data Modeler reporting repository data model

    SQL Data Modeler (SDM) reporting repository data model
    I exported several models to reporting schema and reviewed the reports. So far so good. The reports I need are not included so I'm creating my own. I imported the reporting schema to SDM to explore the model and see how to join the tables. Has anyone already done this exercise and produced a data model for the reporting schema with primary keys, foreign keys and relationships? It would save me a pile of work if I could download the model and import it to SDM?

  • Export/Report on dynamic properties in SQL Data Modeler

    I'm thinking of using dynamic properties to hold meta-data in SQl Data Modeler, but I can't find a way of exporting or reporting on this info once I have created it.
    Am I missing something?
    Regards,

    John,
    you can download DM 4.0.1 - dynamic properties can be included in custom report templates and into generated reports.

  • Oracle.sql.DATE documentation also missing

    Thanks for the documentation of jbo.domain.Date, but it was not enough.
    I need to know how to use the toDate method, but it seen to be described in the superclass
    oracle.sql.DATE that was also missing in documentation.
    I have searched at OTN docs, but it's also missing there.
    There is some place where this documentation is stored in OTN, since could be others classes missing.
    Thanks for the support.

    I'm trying to set a date value and keep getting a ClassCastException:
    rsaDemandException is a ScrollableRowsetAccess object
    "StartDate" is a valid Date type column in the DemandException view object
    newDate is a Date object of the various types I have tried below
    The line that causes an exception to be thrown:
    rsaDemandException.setColumnValue("StartDate", newDate);
    I've tried the following objects for newDate
    java.util.Date;
    java.sql.Date;
    java.sql.Timestamp;
    oracle.sql.DATE;
    oracle.jbo.domain.Date;
    None of them work. They all throw a class cast exception.
    Any hints on what I need to do? Or is this some bug?

  • Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) Vs Oracle Retail Data Model??

    Oracle Retail suite of applications include Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) application. It is integrated with Point of Sale via TLOG and other applications. Is Oracle Retail Data Model leveraging the existing data in RDW? If we use Oracle Retail Data Model, RDW becomes redundant?

    Oracle Retail Data Model is independent of RDW and RGBU applications. It can be used with RMS and Point of Sale, but there is no pre-built ETL to load the data included with the product, although there are some options available thru partners.

  • Fail to convert to internal representation: oracle.sql.DATE

    I'm using the oracle 8.1.7 jdbc driver against oracle 8.1.7 running on NT, and I get the exception message below when I attempt to insert an jpub object structure into a prepared statement.
    All date objects have been constructed from a timestamp object, using the oracle.sql.DATE Timestamp constructor. So I'm surprised to get this error given the timestamp object was successfully constructed.
    I've tried session date formats of 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss' and 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss', with no success.
    I can call stringValue on oracle.sql.DATE and it returns a valid date.
    Can someone confirm that they have been able to use the oracle.sql.DATE class to insert a date correctly into the database? Its seems a silly question to ask but you have to start somewhere!
    Exception : Fail to convert to internal representation: oracle.sql.DATE@3c144e8a

    The JPub/JDBC runtime is converting your Java object into Oracle-specific representation (all data is put in oracle.sql.XXXX format). The top level object is an oracle.sql.STRUCT, the attributes of which are represented as an array of oracle.sql.Datum objects - in your case an oracle.sql.NUMBER and an oracle.sql.DATE. However, the error does occur in the StructDescriptor which describes the SQL type and the shape of the object. Is the error dependent on the data values? Might null values not be dealt with, correctly?
    One thing to try to do is create such an oracle.sql.STRUCT object from scratch with the same attribute values and insert/manipulate that using SQL.
    I have not dealt with TAR's. If you send me a self-contained test case, I'll check it against the current development version of JDBC. (At least you'll know if the next JDBC release fixes this issue :-) I might also file a bug.

  • SQL Data Modeler - Startup Problem

    Hi
    I've created a Relational Model with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, with a few tables, and everything was working ok.
    Yesterday I made some changes to the model, added columns and another table, saved the model and closed the Data Modeler.
    Today - when I tried to open the Model, I only get an error "Some objects are not loaded correctly. See the log file for details"
    The log at the bottom of the Data Modeler only shows: "Open Design: "nameof model"" and no details of what went wrong. No other details is provided, and as far as i can see - and now I can't view the model at all.
    Any ideas how to find the problem/ fix it in order to get the created Model back?
    Thanks
    Coenraad

    Hi Philip
    Thanks, I found the log file there. I have cleared the log file, and when I tried to open the model again, it created the below information, any ideas what could be wrong?
