Generate a Data Model from an existing database (25 pts)



For this assignment, we will be connecting to the classroom database with SQL
Developer Data Modeler and Reverse Engineering an Entity-Relationship Diagram
from an existing set of database tables. Before you can begin with this assignment,
you must log into the Marist College VPN using the Cisco Any Connect client that you
installed last week.

1. Launch SQL Developer Data Modeler
a. This is not the same program we were just using, this is the other
application you were asked to download.
i. You can download from here if you have not already done so:

tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
2. When the application opens, click on File Import Data Dictionary
a. You should see the screen below.


b. You are going to need to add a database connection to this application
the same way we did for SQL Developer in the lesson.
3. Click Add at the bottom of the screen and you should see the following:

a. This screen should be identical to the one you saw in SQL Developer.
b. Please fill out the following:
i. Connection Name Whatever you want to call it
ii. Username First Initial + Last Name ex. IBecker
iii. Password your password
iv. Hostname dm.ecrl.marist.edu

c. Press Test and you should get a Status: Success message appear on
the lower left corner.
d. Click Save.
e. Click Connect
i. In the pop-up window, enter your password.
4. Now that you have a database connection, you are going to proceed by
clicking the connection we just created to select it from the list.
5. Once you have selected it, click Next at the bottom.

6. You are going to see a large list of Schemas / Databases on this step. Scroll
through and find COMMON and check the box to the left of it.

a. Once you have selected COMMON, clock next.
7. The next screen is going to show you all of the tables that are in the
COMMON schema. We are going to select all of them to import into our
model.

a. Once you have them selected, click Next.
8. Once you have clicked Next, you should be taken to a screen that will
summarize what is going to happen. Your screen should look like this:

a. You will want to verify that it says 5 Tables will be imported.
b. If your screen looks like mine, click Finish.
9. You should see an import log when the operation finshes.

10. Click Close and you will be taken back to the application with your tables
added to the diagram.

11. Now that you have the diagram, you are going to need to save it so you can
submit it for the assignment.
a. Click on File Save as
i. Name it AssignmentOne_USERNAME where USERNAME is
your Oracle account (First Initial + Last Name)
