Generating an Object Model from a Data Model
One of the new features of Rose is the ability to automatically generate an object model from a data model. This feature is particularly useful when you are working on a project to re−engineer an existing application and database. You can reverse engineer an existing database, and then generate the object model from it. Of course, this feature is useful in other types of projects as well. Any time you want to be sure that the object model and data model are consistent, or you want to reverse engineer information from an existing database or data model, the object model generation is helpful.
Not all of the constructs in the data model have meaning in an object model. Indexes, stored procedure, and other database elements are not mapped to the object model. Table 18.3 lists the data model elements and the corresponding object model elements.

To create an object model from a data model: |
|
1.
Right−click the schema and select Data Modeler → Transform to Object Model.
2.
Enter the destination package name. The destination package is the name of a package that will be created in the Logical view to hold the new objects.
3.

Chapter 18: Rose Data Modeler
Enter the prefix. The prefix will be added to the name of each table to create the classes in the object model.
4.
Select the Include Primary Keys check box to create attributes for the primary key columns as well as for the other columns. If this check box is not selected, Rose will generate attributes for the non−primary key columns, but not for the primary key columns.
Generating a Data Model from an Object Model
Just as you can generate an object model from a data model, you can generate a data model from an object model. As the project progresses and you have discovered more entity classes, generating the data model will give you a good start to your database design.
When generating the data model, Rose will look for classes with the persistent attribute marked as True. You can set a class to Persistent or Transient in the standard class specification window on the Detail tab. If you want to generate a table for the class, set it to Persistent.
A package of classes in the Logical view will become a schema in the data model. If there is an existing schema of the same name, Rose will add any new classes as tables in the schema. It will not, however, change the tables in the schema if classes in the object model change. Instead, it will note the changes in a log so that you can apply them to the schema if you wish.
Table 18.4 lists object model elements and their corresponding data model elements.

To create a data model from an object model: |
|
1.
Create a database in the Component view.
2.
Right−click any attribute in the classes that you wish to become a primary key in the generated tables. Select Data Modeler Part of Object Identity. If you do not select a primary key attribute, Rose will create a primary key for you by creating a column called "<table name>ID."
3.
Right−click a package in the Logical view and select Data Modeler → Transform to Data Model.
4.
Enter the destination schema name, which is the name of a schema that will be created to hold the new data elements.
5.
Enter the target database, which is the name of an existing database in the Component view.
6.
Enter a prefix that will be added to each class name to create the table names.
7.
Select the Create Indexes for Foreign Keys check box to automatically create index constraints for foreign keys.

Chapter 18: Rose Data Modeler
Generating a Database from a Data Model
At any point during the project, you can generate the database or DDL script from the data model. Rose gives you the choice of simply generating the DDL or running the DDL to create the database.
Rose includes a wizard that walks you through the steps of creating the database. To begin, right−click a schema to generate and select Data Modeler → Forward Engineer. After the welcome screen, select the elements you wish to generate:
651
Chapter 18: Rose Data Modeler
Next, enter the name of the DDL file to create. If you want to create the DDL, but not run it, click Next. If you want to run the new DDL against a database, select the Execute check box. Enter the connection information for your DBMS and press the Test Connection button to be sure that the connection is working properly.
Press Finish to complete the process. Rose will generate the DDL and optionally run it against the database. If any errors are encountered, Rose will add them to the log.
All of the tables, columns, and relationships in the schema will be generated in the DDL or database. The following example shows a table in the Rose model.
The following is the corresponding DDL:
CREATE TABLE T_Customer (
CUSTOMER_ID SMALLINT IDENTITY NOT NULL, FIRST_NAME VARCHAR ( 15 ) NOT NULL, LAST_NAME VARCHAR ( 15 ) NOT NULL, HOME_PHONE NUMERIC ( 10 ) NOT NULL, ADDRESS VARCHAR ( 20 ) NOT NULL,
CITY VARCHAR ( 20 ) NOT NULL, STATE CHAR ( 2 ) NOT NULL, ZIP_CODE NUMERIC ( 5 ) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_T_Customer0 PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (CUSTOMER_ID), CONSTRAINT TC_T_Customer1 CHECK (CUSTOMER_ID > 1000)
