automatic tagging procedure

[fausto bertoli]

We are currently working to deliver the logical data model for a new application. This stream shall start from an existing database structure.
One of the client requirements is to mantains traceability between the old database structure and the new one.
We proposed to use the tag capability and the client accepted.
Some of the new tables probably shall maintain existing names, and that shall be true also for the related columns.
To implement such traceability and reduce the time spent, we need a procedure to intialize the values in a systematic way for all the tables and columns.
Tag tables shall have as value the name of table
Tag columns shall have as values tha name of the original table and column.
Is there a way to do this assignments automatically with a procedure working on the underlyning data model?
Thanks a lot for your help
Fausto
