Quick conversion from ERD to DMDs
« on: April 10, 2008, 07:39:45 am »
For a data modeling effort, I've started with Class Diagrams with Entity stereotypes to create ERD diagrams.  Now I want to develop the DM schema, which I understand would be within Data Modeling Diagrams with Table stereotypes.  

So, what's the easiest (and appropriate) way to go from the Class ERD diagrams to DMDs?  Do I need to create new class tables from scratch or is there an easy way to make use of the Entity stereotypes in the ERDs?  For example, is there a way to copy the Entity Class stereotypes over to Table Class stereotypes?  Are there issues in simply converting the existing stereotypes from Entity to Tables?  (My preference would be to maintain the Entity stereotypes in the ERDs and also quickly create the Tables.)

Suggestions?
