Database Sizing

[leonardo.santos]

Hello,

Is there any add-on or plug-in at EA that allows me to forecast the database size, once I have created the phisical model inside EA? I understand that once I have the tables defined with columns type and sizes, it should be able to informe the amount of rows for a period of time and then receive an extimation of the database size.

best regards,

Leonardo Santos

AFAIK there is nothing out of the box for that. There's an add-in called DBMode from Sparx Japan where I don't know its functionality.

Anyhow I guess you could write up your own script to do that calculation. Should probably not be too difficult.

If I understand the question correctly, you could use another database backend together with EA, like MySQL, and use its tools to predict the resulting amounts of data.

Hi,

in my experiences 100MB database size is a good starting point.
