CA ERwin is a suite of data modeling products that allows users to model databases across multiple platforms from a single graphical representation. It reduces costs and improves database performance by standardizing database design. The latest release, ERwin 7.3, features enhancements such as ODBC-based metadata access, a SQL query tool, and template customizations. ERwin helps users manage growing database demands with fewer resources through its ability to support multiple database platforms from a single data model.

3. AgendaTo 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 explanationE.g. A blueprintA DATABASE MODEL is a graphical representation of a database which is depicted by using an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)DatabaseData Model (ERD)

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”

Why Do You Need a Data Model?Would you navigate a strange city without a map?Maybe…you could always read the road signsWhy Do You Need a Data Model?But what if you were traveling in several foreign cities, and couldn’t possibly learn every language for your trip?CA ERwin is your GPS for databasesERwin provides a Roadmap for multiple Database Platforms

40. CA ERwin® Modeling Questions?

41. Bottom Line….In today’s tough economy, IT resources are being asked to do more with less:More databases to manageMore platforms to supportFewer 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 platformImproving database performance through visual designIncreasing data quality through standardization and reuse

42. Bottom Line…More Database Platforms to SupportMost organizations have more than one database platform—it’s hard to be an expert in allThe number of databases is growing, with more and more applications to supportCA ERwin can manage multiple databases from a single, graphical design. Fewer Staff and ResourcesMost 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.
