Data Model - key visibility
« on: September 04, 2007, 09:05:11 pm »
Hi

I have reverse engineered a data model.  For clarity purposes, I would like to have a diagram showing tables, their primary keys, and relationships only.  That is I dont want to see all of the other data elements in this diagram.  Is it possible to restrict feature visibility to this?

Thanks,
Tony

You can choose in diagram properties not to show operations (which will leave only columns) but to filter columns you will have to change them from public to private or so, then you can choose not to show attributes with private permissions, seems to me a lot of work to be worth it.

BTW What exactly are you seeing in the diagram and you wouldn't want to?

Martin,
The database is an implementation of a Military Standard defined schema (for a defence project).  Thus there are over 100 tables, with thousands of elements.  I have culled my diagram to only show tables I'm interested in, now I'd just like to reduce more of the clutter.
Anyway thanks for your help.  If its not easy to do, then the value added wouldnt be worth the effort.

Tony

There are quite some filter options you could explore. The diagram has some global properties and the single elements also have individual ones. There's also a filter according to stereotypes. I think you should consider studying the add-in capabilities of EA when you are dealing with that amount of data.

As far as I tried ti when I had a similar problem, it is too much work.
But in did a plug in would be a good solution.
