Each database model consists of a stereotyped package ('DataModel') that contains a logical and physical sub-package, as well as a report specification artifact that easily generates a database report . Each physical sub-package is stereotyped as 'Database' and stores DBMS, Default Owner & Default Connection properties (as tagged values) . Each database creates the package types that are available in the selected DBMS . Any database object created in one of these packages is automatically saved into the appropriate package . Any ODBC import invoked from within the data model package structure automatically loads the data model diagram and saved the objects into their relevant package Foreign Key constraint editing improved: . Associations between tables now automatically show the Foreign Key dialog on creation and double click . Standard connector properties dialog available from the context menu . Simplified process for creating a foreign key, simply select a primary key or unique index on the parent table . By default each column in the selected key is automatically linked to a column of the same name in the child table .

Extended properties (like On Delete, On Update) of the foreign key are now directly visible on the window . The name of the optionally created Foreign Key index is automatically shown Table Column properties dialog improved: . List of columns is now the primary focus of the dialog . Create a new column in one of three ways: . Typing in cell with prompt 'New Column' . Context menu in column list . Hot key - Ctrl+N . All column properties are editable directly within the list . Reorder a column via the context menu items or hot keys, Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down . Delete an existing column via the context menu item or hot key, Ctrl+D . All properties relevant to the selected column's datatype are visible and accessible directly on the window . Constraints, indexes, checks and triggers are available conveniently on second tab Table Constraints properties dialog improved: . Conveniently located together with the column properties . List of constraints (this includes Indexes, Primary and Foreign Keys, Check & Unique Constraints and table Triggers) are now primary focus and can be edited inline . Create a new constraint in one of three ways: . Typing in cell with prompt 'New Constraint' . Context menu in column list . Hot key - Ctrl+N . All constraint properties are editable directly within the list . Reorder a constraint via the context menu items or hot keys, Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down . Delete an existing constraint via the context menu item or hot key, Ctrl+D . All properties relevant to the selected constraint's stereotype are visible and accessible directly on the window . Involved columns (both assigned and available) are shown directly on the window . Adding assigned columns is done simply by either double clicking an available column, or using the context menu or hot key Ctrl+Left . Unassigning columns is done simply by either double clicking an assigned column, or using the context menu or hot key Ctrl+Right Visual representation of database objects improved: .

A selection list of schemas for the current database connection is shown to filter the list of objects . Each item in the list can be checked/unchecked by clicking anywhere on the check box or the name . Package browser added to allow a different import location to be selected . Database Object selection screen has been improved, objects are now grouped by type and providing better and faster selection DDL Generation window improved: . Many options moved to secondary tabs to allow the list of objects to generate to be expanded . New option to generate direction to the database builder execution engine . Full customization of DDL generation (create or Alter) now possible through new DDL generation templates . Supported database: Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server (2005/2008/2012), PostgreSql, SQLite, Sybase ASA, sybase_ase, access, DB2, Informix, Ingres, InterBase . DDL Execute Engine . Generated SQL Script to Execution Engine according to dependency order, then simply "Execute" each single one or "Execute All" in one go. E.g. change a column's length will generate following statements in order(suppose the column is used in an index): #1 Drop index, #2 alter the column (unless you drop and then add the column, so you never lose your data!) #3. Create the index . Duplicated script combined in one. E.g. in some databases, changing column type or length will generate the same scripts, EA now groups the scripts for you . Compare the database to the model . The compare runs on multiple levels in a simple click: Table: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC Column: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC Constraint: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC Constraint Column: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC . Actions on the difference (actions integrated in a combo box, which only filled with valid actions according to the context) Table: EA Only: Pair | Generate Create Script ODBC Only: Pair | Create table in EA | Generate Drop Script EA & ODBC: UnPair | Re-name table in EA model | update EA model(include all columns and constraints) | Generate Script for (Re-create / Rename / Comment / OwnerChange / Privilege) and other properties Column: EA Only: Pair | Delete column from EA model | Generate Add Script ODBC Only: Pair | Add column to EA model | Generate Drop Script EA & ODBC: UnPair | update EA model | Generate Script for (Rename / comment / Default value / Length / Precision / Scale / NotNull / AutoNum / Seed / Step) and other properties Constraint: EA Only: Delete constraint from EA model | Generate Add / Create Script ODBC Only: Add constraint to EA model | Generate Drop Script EA & ODBC: update EA model | First Drop and then Add / Create | Generate Script for comment and other properties . Round-trip Database Engineering. Compare and show differences between Enterprise Architect and model connected through ODBC Set actions to synchronize: It is possible that some differences' action set as "EA====>ODBC" while some differences' action set as "ODBC====>" EA. The database and EA model should be synchronized. You can validate it by running the Difference tool again. General fixes and improvements .

Merge file specifies what has changed in the XMI file being imported . Only the elements and properties specified in the Merge File will be imported in the model . Elements may be added, updated or deleted as specified by the merge file and XMI The basic workflow is as follows . Each modeler receives a copy of the original package . Each modeler imports and baselines the package . Each modeler makes their changes (additions, deletions and modifications) . Each modeler then exports their package creating an XMI file and a Merge file based on their changes . The original model is then updated with each modelers changes, using the Merge files .
