Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Kris Rice – Director of Development

Agenda Technical and Feature Review Focus on Developer Productivity Introduction to SQL Developer Data Modeler Audience Technology Review Features Update on Packaging

Strategic Rationale Why are we in the Data Modeling Market? Oracle has a strong suite of Database Developer Tools SQL Developer Data Modeler provides a competitive data modeling tool relative to best-of-breed niche providers Niche vendors have critical mass Niche vendors provide full data lifecycle development Adding data modeling further improves Oracle’s position in database tools by Filling current functionality gaps Adding specialized domain expertise Displacing market leaders: CA Erwin, MS Visual Studio, MS Visio, Embarcadero ER/Studio, Sybase Power Designer, IBM Rational Data Architect Why has Oracle entered the modeling market? Is there a market, is there place for another tool, when the competitors are strong? Yes, there is a growing market. Customers who threw out modelers are looking around for replacement tools. The competitors are strong and attract good revenue. As a database company, we should be providing data modeling tool for our developers.

What is SQL Developer Data Modeler? A visual diagramming and data modeling tool A single tool for different users and functionality Data Architect to build logical data models Database Developer to model relational models (tables and columns) DBA to add tablespaces, partitions to the tables

Why use Oracle SQL Developer Modeler? A single tool with different features and for different audiences and users A diagram is a powerful communication tool Logical Model for architects and users Relational model for developers Physical model for database administrators Viewer for all users Extend Oracle product suite Improve Application Development Will have better quality Are easier to maintain Have shorter Time to Market

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Supports a variety of visual models Entity Relationship (ERD) - supports Barker and Bachman notation (EAR) Relational DataTypes (SQL99) Multi-Dimensional Data Flow Records details for Physical implementation Business information Domains Imports from various sources DDL and Dictionary import from Oracle Database Oracle Designer repository DDL and data dictionary import from Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2/390 and DB2 LUW General JDBC based dictionary import for non-Oracle databases Ca Erwin Data Modeler Exports to various sources DDL for Oracle and non-Oracle databases Oracle Analytical Workspaces Multi-Dimensional XMLA format

Data Modeler and the Audience Analysis (Logical – Platform independent) Gather data requirements without implementation detail Create and transform ERD to one or more relational designs Supports data analysts, enterprise and data architects Design (Physical) Create new or update engineered relational model Create one or more physical implementations from the relational model Generate DDL for implementation Supports database administrators Read-only Viewer Print diagrams and consult model properties Supports application developers, business and end users

Technology Technology and Architecture Database support Java based Independent standalone product Database support Oracle 9i, 10g, and Oracle Database 11g Third-party databases Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005 IBM DB2/390 and DB2 LUW Platform support Windows Linux Mac OS X

Logical Modeling Model entities, attributes and relations Support for Super type Sub types Transform one logical to many relational and multi- dimensional models Support for configurable forward and reverse engineering

Relational Modeling Model tables, columns and FKs Create one logical for one or more relational models Support configurable forward and reverse engineering

Physical Modeling One relational model for many physical models Supports Oracle Database 9i, 10g and 11g Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005 IBM DB2/390 and DB2 LUW DDL file editor supports Design Rules Object selection Drop objects Table scripts

Forward and Reverse Engineering Each logical model to maps to one or more relational models Each relational model maps to one logical model Each relational model maps to one or more physical models Each physical model maps to one relational model Engineering options General Compare/copy Synchronization

Modeling DataTypes Support for SQL99 (Object Relational Modeling) Distinct Types (Predefined) Structured Types (Predefined) Collection Types Used in logical models Used in relational models Included on import Generated in DDL

Multi-Dimensional Modeling Modeling of Cubes, Dimensions, Levels and Hierarchies, Measures and slices Start from ROLAP, XMLA or from scratch Generate Oracle Analytical Workspaces

Working with Data Flow Diagrams External Agents Processes Primitive Composite Transformation Information Flow Information Store

Importing Oracle Database 9i, 10g and 11g Database catalog Scripts Oracle Designer repository import Generic JDBC based Dictionary Examples: MySQL, Terradata SQL Server, DB2 and UDB Multi-Dimensional Cube views XMLA Other Modeling tools CA ERwin Bachman

Exporting and Code Generation Standard database DDL scripts Oracle IBM DB2 and UDB MicroSoft SQL Server Multi-Dimensional Oracle AW, Cube Views and XMLA CSV export

Controlling the Design Environment Selection of tools available Domain definition (data types) Name abbreviation in the relational model (Customer to CUST) Compare and merge facilities Design Rules Tools Options Naming standards Specify default database Controlling constraints Physical properties Notations (Barker, Bachman)

Formatting and General Appearance Granular and general control Set per item type Synchronize tree with diagram Set notation

Reporting Repository Create repository user Export design to repository Initial export creates repository Exports initial version to repository SQL Developer support Browse repository Import reports Run shipped reports Create your own reports

Packaging Choices SQL Developer Data Modeler Licensed, independent standalone product File based SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer Free standalone viewer SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer extension Integrated into SQL Developer 2.1
