Data Modeling Settings
Enterprise Architect provides data modeling settings that can be used to configure the way database systems are modeled in Enterprise Architect. These include the ability to define the data modeling language, which determines the way that connectors are displayed, and settings to configure the naming of Primary Keys, Foreign Keys and Indexes. The settings are global and will affect any Enterprise Architect repository.
