Creating views in a data diagram

[ajaxx]

I realize that UML diagraming for data models is pretty young, but have any of you actually managed to construct views in the tool.  I've been thinking about adding a stereotype to table that would generate a simple joined view.  Its simplistic though and I havent been able to give much thought to how I might expand that.

Have any of you done this?

There have been discussions about views. Try to search the forum for "view".

There have been discussions about views. Try to search the forum for "view".

To save others the 1+ hour it took me to "search the forum for 'view'" ('view' is not as uncommon a word as one might think), here are the relevant discussions that have taken place here so far:

Is it possible to create SQL views with EA ? (Don't even click - no answers here)

Database Views with Data Modeling and SQL DDL (No need to click here either, here is the essense of it: Q: "It sure would be nice if the Data Modeling in EA supported Views natively with SQL DLL generation, etc.  Are there any plans for this feature?"  A (from an EA Administrator): " Yes - but I don't have an ETA.".

Reverse Engineering Database Views (There is a discussion here indeed, but of no help - only this info, as of Nov. 2004,  is interesting: " We are in the process of adding support for modelling stored procedures and views."

View (create or replace view as select....)  (peter offers an interesting method here - but is all manual and thus error prone and time consuming)

To summarize: At present, it is not possible to deal with views just as we do with tables in EA. There are plans for it, in fact there is already a process for it - but no "ETA".

  probably I had the right feeling not to start the search by myself.
