Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Class to DDL transform inheritance as concrete classes

« on: March 27, 2018, 03:10:31 am »

Thank you Richard. Is this something that can be automated (i.e. by altering the DDL transformation settings) or do I have to create each new physical class?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Class to DDL transform inheritance as concrete classes

« on: March 24, 2018, 02:09:12 am »

I have a class diagram of three classes; VEHICLE, CAR, and MOTORBIKE.  CAR and MOTORBIKE are specializations of the VEHICLE CLASS.

I'd like to do a DDL transform on this class diagram so I have only 2 tables; CAR and MOTORBIKE, and these tables have fields for all the extended attributes + inherited attributes from vehicle (aka concrete classes)

How do I go about this? using the standard DDL transform I get a table for each class and if I only select the derived classes the transform doesn't include the inherited attributes

General Board / Linking a Logical data model to database builder model

« on: December 06, 2017, 09:14:02 pm »

I'm using Enterprise Architect for the first time. I'm trying to model a database and I'm struggling to understand how to 'link' conceptual, logical, and physical data models.

For example if I change the multiplicity between two classes in my conceptual model would it / could it change the logical model? or if I add an attribute to my logical model would it / could it change my physical model.

And how can I see inconsistencies between the different models?

Thanks
