3. Agenda To understand what Data Modeling is. To understand why a company needs to Data Model. To understand why the ERwin suite of product is the right solution. What’s in R7.3?
4. What is Database Modeling? A MODEL is a graphical representation of a complex object, system or concept clarified through textual explanation E.g. A blueprint A DATABASE MODEL is a graphical representation of a database which is depicted by using an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) Database Data Model (ERD)
5. SQL vs. Model product_id INTEGER NOT NULL, product_name VARCHAR(50) NULL, product_price NUMBER NULL); ALTER TABLE PRODUCT ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (product_id) ) ; CREATE TABLE DEPARTMENT ( department_id INTEGER NOT NULL, department_name VARCHAR(50) NULL); ALTER TABLE DEPARTMENT ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (department_id) ) ; CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (employee_id INTEGER NOT NULL, department_id INTEGER NOT NULL, employee_fname VARCHAR(50) NULL, employee_lname VARCHAR(50) NULL, employee_ssn CHAR(9) NULL); ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (employee_id) ) ; CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER ( customer_id INTEGER NOT NULL, customer_name VARCHAR(50) NULL, customer_address VARCHAR(150) NULL, customer_city VARCHAR(50) NULL, customer_state CHAR(2) NULL, customer_zip CHAR(9) NULL); ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (customer_id) ) ; CREATE TABLE ZORDER ( zorder_id INTEGER NOT NULL, employee_id INTEGER NOT NULL, customer_id INTEGER NOT NULL, zorder_date DATE NULL); ALTER TABLE ZORDER ADD ( PRIMARY KEY (zorder_id) ) ; “A picture is worth a thousand words”
6. Why Do You Need a Data Model? With a single graphical model, you can manage multiple databases on diverse platforms. Oracle Oracle DB2 DB2 IDMS SQL Server SAP
14. What happens if we don’t Data Model? Database may be missing critical information Database development/maintenance time and cost are increased – over-budget! Poor database design – unstable system Missed project deadlines

41. Bottom Line…. In today’s tough economy, IT resources are being asked to do more with less: More databases to manage More platforms to support Fewer people to do the work. CA ERwin helps you face these challenges and look like a hero in their organization by: Reducing the amount of time and money spent learning to code for every platform Improving database performance through visual design Increasing data quality through standardization and reuse
42. Bottom Line… More Database Platforms to Support Most organizations have more than one database platform—it’s hard to be an expert in all The number of databases is growing, with more and more applications to support CA ERwin can manage multiple databases from a single, graphical design. Fewer Staff and Resources Most organizations are cutting back on IT staff, making it difficult to manage these growing databases. Skill sets for individual databases are very specialized. It is unrealistic (and expensive) to have multiple experts for all platforms. CA ERwin can replace the need to have experts in every platform—by managing multiple databases from a graphical model.
43. Bottom Line… Migrating Database Platforms Many organizations are trying to consolidate databases into a single platform CA ERwin can help in the migration process by translating the data structures from one platform to another. Integrating Data from Multiple Sources Many organization are trying to integrate multiple systems – as a result of mergers and acquisitions, or for data warehousing, CA ERwin helps create a single view of these data structures and creates standards
