Subject:SQL Server & Data Dictionary From:"Angela Akridge" <angelaakridge -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 09 May 2003 05:55:20 +0000
John,
I don't know much about SQL Server, but I believe Oracle has a tool (Oracle
Designer). This tools reads the Data Dictionary to provide a ERD (entity
relationship dependencies) and ERM (entity relationship model). My
understanding is that both will show you the relationships between all the
tables in the database. Oracle has comprehensive documentation that
available online: Perhaps you can search Oracle's site for "Oracle
Designer." I'm very new to database software, so I'm sorry if I'm not much
help. I'm taking a database class right now, but I'm only building the
database (SQL). If you have a list of questions, I'll have my professor
answer them. I'll pretend they're my questions. Hell, the class costs
enough. ;)
