Relationship Matrix: MDA "DDL Transform"

[Gary W.]

Hi,

We've successfully customized the DDL Transform to meet our specific Data Admin standards.  It was surprising easy (with Simon's help    ).

The one thing remaining is, how can we easily trace the 'Realisation' of the Class, to the resulting DB table?

I would have thought that this came 'for free', with the MDA transform, but now I don't think so.

So, I'm toying with the idea of adding code in the transform ("Class", "Attribute", and "Connector" templates) to add a Source -> Target "Realization" relationship.

My question to all is, do you think that is the appropriate relationship type?  What about "Instantiation", "Dependency" (other direction), "Deployment"?

TIA
Gary

EA obviously hasn't created a connector, but there is a relationship viewable using the hierarchy view.

To create a connector you can follow the instructions at the bottom of http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/mda_transformations/transformingconnectors.html
