Questions related SQL Developer Data Modeling

1) Is it possible to import ERwin 3.5.2 version(called as Platinum Erwin) erx file to SQl developer data
modeling tool?
2) When this tool going to be released as a standalone Product?
3) One of our requirements is calculating Table and Database size from Data model tool(as a volumetric
report). Is it possible in this tool?. Also i couldn't able to define storage properties(like Tablespace).

I have also replied to you in the feedback application where you logged your query. I have added my response here for others who may be interested.
1)We currently only support import from ERwin 4.x
2) It is company policy not to disclose release dates. We plant to release in 2009.
3) You can define Tablespace using the Physical model. Expand the Relational node and then the physical model. The two nodes you can use for your tablespaces are the Tablespaces and Segment Templates nodes.

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler - Relation to Foreign Key Generation

    SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 Build 584.
    I am having trouble with Relations to Foreign Keys when Forward Engineering a Relational Model from a Logical Model.
    First of all, the Naming Standard is not applied to the Foreign Keys when I perform the Engineer to Relational Model.
    So I right click on the Relational Model from the Browser and Apply Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints.
    I uncheck everything but Foreign Keys.
    Now, Foreign Keys are named according to my Naming Standards.
    However, this process also performs renames on the Column Foreign Keys even though I specifically unchecked that option.
    This appears to be a BUG in the software and I haven't found a way around it.
    I tried using {column} instead of {ref column} in the Naming Standard Template for Column Foreign Key, but that simply resulted in renaming my columns to "{column}".
    Please confirm and/or let me know of any work-around for this.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi Philip,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Is this recorded as a bug to be addressed in the future?
    Should I submit this problem via Oracle Support?
    The other work-around I came up with is to override every Relation name in the Logical Model with the name I want to use in the Relational Model.
    When the Relational Model is Engineered, this becomes my Foreign Key name.
    Of course, this is not how I want to do things, so I am hoping for a bug fix someday.
    Regards,
    Dan

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler: Logical model, unable to create arc

    I have a logical model in SQL Developer Data Modeler. Entity A has two 'incoming' foreign key relations to entities B and C. Both releations have the same optionality and cardinality. I want to place both relations in an arc. I see the buttons in my toolbar menu, but they are not enabled. Even when I select both relations it is not.
    Bringing the logical model to the relational model creates foreign keys. These foreign keys can be selected and when I do that the 'Create new arc' button in the relational model toolbar is enabled.
    What am I missing in the logical model ...? The documentation doesn't give a clue.
    Erik

    Thanks Sue, that worked. It is different from the way the ERD in Designer worked. Is there any reasoning behind it. As far as I know you should only put into an arc two or more relationships pointing to the same entity with the same optionality and the same cardinality. Selecting the entity with the relationships can only help in identifying at which relationship end the arc should be created but that is obvious.
    And asking the question is answering it: it will help in adding an arc to two or more entities originating and ending at the same entity (and same cardinality and optionality).
    Is that the reasoning behind it?
    Regards

  • Domains usage in SQL Developer data MODELER

    Hi,
    I'm trying to understand how to use Domains in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. We use version 3.1.3 .  before I used Toad Modeler  where domains are just part of your main design.
    Oracle data modeler has some different concept.
    let's assume I'm working on 2 designs:  DesignA and DesignB that include relational models.
    DesignA and Design B should use domains but list of domains in design A is very different than in design B.
    Default domain file is located on c: drive where SqlModeler is installed. It is obviously unacceptable , so I need to change Default System Type directory in preferences.
    And of course I want to have different domain directories for DESIGN A and DESIGN B.
    So when I open design A then I changed   Default System Type directory  let's say to x:\AAA.   Then i close design A and open Design B and change Default System Type directory to x:\BBB
    I checked folders AAA and BBB and they  have necessary XML files there:  defaultdomains.xml, defaultRFDBSSites and so on....
    Now questions:
    can I rename defaultdomains.xls to something else like AAAdomains.xls?  Domain administration can edit any domain file with any name , but how  can I associate certain domain file with my design?  My wish , when I open my design , then corresponding domain file will be open automatically.  Is it possible?
    If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs  then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well.  Currently   I shouldn't forget to change default System Type directory every time when I switch models.  Is it the only way to handle it?
    Thanks

    Hi Vitaliy,
    We use version 3.1.3
    I recommend always to use the latest version. If you don't want to use beta (DM 4.0 EA is out) you can use DM 3.3.
    Otherwise Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler supports two types of domains:
    1) DM installation domains - those in file defaultdomains.xml
    2) Design level domains - they are stored in design directories and are visible to particular design only. They can be created in following ways:
    2.1 Manually - there is a property "Domains file" and you id it's not set "defaultdomains" domain will become design level domain and will be stored in file with provided name (without .xml extension)
    You can change later the file for design level domains, however you cannot change file for domain already in defaultdomains.xml.
    2.2 Using types to domains wizard you can generate design level domains
    2.3 Design level domains are created during import of  DDL files (controlled in preferences)
    2.4 You can import domains from specific file with domains using "File>Import>Domains" - you need to rename the source file if it's named defaultdomains.xml otherwise you'll get domains as installation domains
    If the list with domains is too long you can define  a list with preferred domains (or/and logical types) in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model" and you can use shorter list in Table/Entity dialog if check "Preferred" check box next to "Type:" combo box.
    If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs  then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well
    If you open 2 designs in one instance of DM they will use the same file with default domains i.e. you'll lose domains in one of design depending of setting for "system data type directory". You need to go with design level domains.

  • Foreign key Mapping based on Data - in SQL Developer Data modeler

    Team
    Do SQL Developer Data modeler supports Foreign Key mapping based on the Data in the Schema rather defined at the DDL ? For e.g if we implement a Objects Relation ship mapping in Data base, we don't define Foreign keys at table creation.
    Toad does this feature through "AUTOMATIC FOREIGN KEYS MAPPING IN TOAD DATA MODELER" more info at (http://toadworld.com/Blogs/tabid/67/EntryId/905/Automatic-Foreign-Keys-Mapping-in-Toad-Data-Modeler.aspx)
    any one know how to implement through some scripts also helps me
    Regards
    Raj

    If you have table PKs defined and the candidate columns match those PK columns, then you can use the Discover Foreign Keys utility. Right mouse over the relational model name (node) in the left browser. It is about half way down the menu. I did a blog post about it last week on kentgraziano.com.

  • Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0 Bugs, Resolution and workarounds

    The purpose of this thread is to list bugs discovered while using ORACLE SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0
    Mainly with SQL SERVER 2005 and ORACLE 10g models.

    SQL Server Physical model doesn't save table identity column.
    here are the steps to get this bug:
    1. create a table in relational model with a column as an integer to be used as an identity.
    2. create or open a physical model for SQL-SERVER 2005
    3. open the table in the physical model
    4. edit the integer column property dialog
    5. tick the identity check box and close the property dialog
    6. save the model and close it
    7. open it again, you will find the identity check is removed! (probably not saved from the start)

  • Customising the Legend  (Legend Box) - SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER

    Hi,
    Is there a way to customize the legend Box (obtained when you right click Show->Legend in the Relational or Logical model window) in the latest latest version of SQL Developer Data Modeler.
    For example i would like to remove a particular attribute from the legend say Changed by or Author.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is not possible.
    There will be such option in the future.

  • "SQL Developer" vs. "SQL Developer Data Modeler"

    Hi Everybody!
    I'm using SQL Developer and I miss functionalities like re-engeneering of ER Models. As far as I know this is what the "SQL Developer Data Modeler" does. So my question is: Is the "SQL Developer Data Modeler" a complete replacement for "SQL Developer" or do I need both?
    thank you in advance

    Whoooops, sorry, I replied in the wrong thread -.-

  • Bug report SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER

    Hello,
    I think i found a bug using Sql developer data modeler 2.0.0 build 584.
    When importing a DDL file to create a relational model, foreign key constraints might not be created if foreign key uses multiple-field and the fields are not referenced in the same order as the primary key was.
    ex:
    Table FOO ..... PRIMARY KEY (id_1, id_2)
    FOREIGN KEY (id_2, id_1) REFERENCES FOO (id_2, id_1)
    Benjamin
    P.S: Bellow is a portion of SQL code demonstrating the problem:
    -- "_decompte"
    CREATE TABLE "_decompte"(
    numero_rang VARCHAR2(2),
    numero_contrat VARCHAR2(13),
    id_decompte VARCHAR2(19)
    ALTER TABLE "_decompte"
    add CONSTRAINT pk_decompte PRIMARY KEY (numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte);
    -- "_decompte_detail"
    CREATE TABLE "_decompte_detail"(
    numero_rang VARCHAR2(2),
    id_ligne NUMBER(4),
    numero_contrat VARCHAR2(13),
    id_decompte VARCHAR2(19)
    -- "_decompte_detail"
    -- NOT Recognized by SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER (fields are not in the same order as primary key definition)
    ALTER TABLE "_decompte_detail"
    add CONSTRAINT fk_decompte_detail_1 FOREIGN KEY (numero_contrat, numero_rang , id_decompte) REFERENCES "_decompte"(numero_contrat, numero_rang , id_decompte);
    -- Recognized by SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER
    ALTER TABLE "_decompte_detail"
    add CONSTRAINT fk_decompte_detail_2 FOREIGN KEY (numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte) REFERENCES "_decompte"(numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte);

    Hi,
    Well, I was recently given some database scripts and asked to correct and improve them. These scripts were not generated but rather hand made. Having no access to a DBMS I was just curious about the result of this option in Data modeler and tried it for a better DB overview. I don't need it at all, but I was surprised to discover that the result was a failure. So I tried various scripts until I found the mistake.
    regards.

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler notation

    Hi,
    I want to create a diagram for a database. While Data Modeler is very useful for generating DDL, I don't like that the only notation type you can choose from are Crows Notations and BachMan. I would like to use the Min-Max ISO notation but I don't know, is there a plugin to allow this?
    Thanks!

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler - integration with subversion

    I just discovered the release of SQL Developer Data modeler, and found this to be very interesting.
    We are still using Oracle Designer for database design, but we are looking for a replacement (for several reasons).
    My question is quite simple:
    Given that the modeler uses a filebased repository, and also given that we have several developers potentially working on a data-model at the same time, how does Data Modeler integrate with subversion for source control etc.?
    Can the repository itself be under source control, and checked in/out directly from Data Modeler?
    Or will only the output files be candidates for version/source control?
    Let me admit right away that I have not read much of the data modeler docs, and I have also not downloaded/installed it (yet), but does anyone have pointers to docs on this , or general input/knowledge around it.
    On a side note, I must say that it puzzles me that a company like Oracle, that delivers one of the best databases doesn't use its database engine to host the repository, but instead chooses to go for files (I assume xml) "scattered all over the place"....
    Well, I guess they a have a reason for it..
    Anyway:
    Sql Developer Data Modeler and Subversion anyone?
    Jens

    Hi Jens,
    It's early days and the initial implementation is indeed file based. Though I'd say not xml files "all over the place", but in ordered folders. Yes, as a database company it does make sense that we'd have a repository for managing and versioning metadata. However the tool supports Oracle and other databases and many companies use open source version control tools, such as Subversion and so anyone using the Data Modeler today can use it with Subversion regardless of the database they are designing for.
    We do plan to have a repository, but in the 6+ months of the early adopter program found that many of the early adopters were happy to place the files under source code control using Subversion and in so doing also managed the multi-user development.
    Integrated Subversion support is planned for a future release.

  • Sql Developer Data Modeler all domains lost after changing to version 3.0

    I have two questions:
    1. Sql Developer Data Modeler - is it still a separate product? Or is it only available as integrated within Sql Developer?
    2. After opening a model created with Data Modeler 2.0 with the new integrated Data Modeler 3.0 I lost all my domain definitions. What can I do to avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Holger

    Hi Holger,
    Sql Developer Data Modeler - is it still a separate product? Or is it only available as integrated within Sql Developer?Standalone version is here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
    2. After opening a model created with Data Modeler 2.0 with the new integrated Data Modeler 3.0 I lost all my domain definitions. What can I do to avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.Copy file defaultdomains.xml from DM 2.0 installation to "sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\extensions\oracle.datamodeler\types" directory (if you use version in SQL Developer) or to
    "datamodeler\datamodeler\types" if you use standalone DM 3.0.
    Location of this directory can be set in preferences - it's called system types directory there - it contains: default domains, RDBMS sites, logical types and custom scripts.

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler API

    Hi,
    My team is responsible for taking requests from a development team, creating a database change script, and updating the data model. We are trying to transition away from Designer but have been using some of the API integration to automate tasks through a custom database change request tool. This allowed the developers to fill out some fields for a the new table they wanted and my team would push a button to have all the updates sent to the data model in Designer.
    My question is, does SQL Developer Data Modeler have anything like this? If so, is there some documentation?
    Thanks
    Justin

    Very limited documentation is available in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\datamodeler\datamodeler\xmlmetadata\doc\index.html

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler Information Flow descriptions

    Hello
    I am new to SQL Developer Data Modeler. Is there a way to display on the Data Flow Diagram the descriptions on the Information Flow lines.
    Regards
    Ade

    1) Is there a cross reference report so that I can check my information structures on the DFD diagram with the attributes defined at Logical Model diagram?you can use "File>Export>To Reporting Schema" functionality to export your design into Oracle database. Two tables there give usage of attributes/entities in processes - DMRS_PROCESS_ATTRIBUTES and DMRS_PROCESS_ENTITIES. look for "reports\Reporting Schema diagrams" directory under installation of Data Modeler - there are PDF files with diagrams of reporting schema tables.
    2) How can I create a copy (synonym) for any of my information stores or external agents on the same DFD diagramgraphical synonyms are supported only for objects in Logical and Relational models.
