Help with Data model design
« on: November 17, 2003, 08:03:10 am »
Ok, I'm creating a bunch of tables (25), and they all must have some standard columns (last_mod_date, status)

Is there a way to create a table template that has these columns, or a column entity that I can drag & drop into my table?

We're evaluating EA right now, and it looks like a very good tool, probably it'll replace our old modeling tool.

Thanks.

G'day,

From your project browser, you can drag a column from an expanded table and drop the column unto another table showing in a diagram.

That will copy the column from one table (in your project browser) to another table (in your diagram).

Hope that helps.

Cheers and best regards.

Excelent, that works as expected.

Now, I want to export the diagram as an image. Since there are too many tables in one diagram, the image is rather long. Is there a way to split the image by pages? I don't mind getting 3 images, since that would make my diagram readable.
