Title: underlined table column in class diagram
Post by: marcel700 on March 10, 2022, 01:39:43 am

Hello all,

i would like to ask you to help me with this "problem". I did some reverse engineering in EA and after importing tables via database builder i noticed that some tables in class diagram have underlined some columns. I was able to find out that underlined attribute in class means static attribute, but i can't find out what this means for tables. Can somebody help me with this?

This is a long shot, are the underlined columns/attributes a calculated field - i.e., do they have a formula? Or, do they have a default value?

Hello marcel700,

For tables, underlined columns have 'unique' constraints.

HTH,

Thank you, i checked it out and it seems it is as you said, for the unique constraints. I was not sure because if i have unique constraint on two or more columns, EA doesn't underline the last column. I also tried more unique constraints in table a it only didn't underline the last column of the first unique constraint and the other were OK - all columns underlined. So it seems it is some kind of bug in EA. I use 13.2 version, maybe it's fixed newer versions.
