 Q/A

Search functionality – simple search
Simple and Advanced search :
Simple search:
• Just type the word you are looking for and all searchable
properties of all objects are checked for match; dynamic
properties are also checked
• Content of the property is checked, if property is another
object (Domain, Structured type, …) then the name of that
object is checked
• The name of the property is checked if content is “true”,
“yes”, “y” – using “partit” as search pattern on physical model
will return all partitioned tables
• Search could be triggered in two ways – set in preferences;
could be slow for large and complete designs

Search functionality – advanced search
Advanced search:
• Narrowed to specific object type and properties
• AND/OR expressions can be constructed
• Available at model level
Regular expressions can be used in both modes

Search functionality – global search
Global search:
• Spans all open designs and models
• Only simple search is available
• Located at top right corner in standalone version
• Available through menu “View>Data Modeler>Global
Search” in SQL Developer (with DM 3.3)

Search functionality – global search

Search functionality – model level
Model level search:
 Searches through the whole model not just current
diagram
 For relational model – searches through all open physical
models
 Activated using “Find” icon on tool bar (or Ctrl-F on
diagram) or “Find” in context menu for the model in
browser
 Advanced mode can be used to search on specific
properties

Search functionality – result
 Search result(model level) can be pinned, another window will appear on next search
 Search conditions can be saved and reused later
 Search result can be filtered by model (in global search) and object type
 Double click on a row in search result will bring up properties editor for that object
 Selecting a row in result list will show diagrams where that object (or its container) is
used – double click on diagram will focus on object on that diagram
 Filtering on model and object type will unlock another functionality – “Properties”
(setting common properties on objects) and “Reports”

Search functionality – result

Search functionality – setting common
properties
 “Old Value” shows if there are common
properties set, empty otherwise
 Three types of data – String (text), boolean
(true/false) and object (domain,
schema/user, tablespace …) – additional
dialog appear to select related object
 More than one properties can be set at once
 Data type can be only one of domain, logical
type, distinct type, structured type or
collection type

Search functionality – setting common
properties

Search functionality – custom reports
 Custom reports can contain only one type of objects –
columns, tables, entities, sequences… ; this is the
reason they are available only when search result is
filtered by model and object type
 Report templates can be created for each type of
object
 Optimization on boolean values – true and false can
be replaced with provided constants
 Supported formats – HTML, PDF, RTF and Excel
(XLS, XLSX)
 Standard report can be generated on search result if
there is a standard report for objects in search result

Search functionality – custom reports,
templates
 Up to 30 properties can be
included, properties in red are
read-only, those in blue could be
read-only when edited in Excel
 Order of columns and custom
names can be set
 Sort order can be defined – by
Entity and Name in example
 Column width is for HTML
reports

Search functionality – custom reports

Search functionality – custom reports, Excel
file
 Reports in XLS and XLSX format can be
edited in Excel
 Read-only properties will remain read-only
in Excel
 Properties that represent object (in blue in
template – domain, schema/user,
tablespace …) will be presented with look
up field

Search functionality – custom reports, Excel
file
 Updated Excel file can be returned back to the
source model – context menu for the model in
browser
 Verification that file is for the same model
 Log will be generated for updates done during
import
 Be aware that changes in data type of FK
column/attribute won’t be applied because
they inherit data type from referred
column/attribute

Engineering to relational model – surrogate
keys
 Default settings in preferences used when new
entity or relationship is created
 Can be reset in entity/relationship dialog
 Can be set on group of entities using search and
set common properties functionality
 Table will get surrogate primary key in following
cases:
– Set to related entity
– Set to relationship to use surrogate key
– Entity doesn’t have PK and relationship is referring that entity

Engineering to relational model – surrogate
keys
 Default data type for
surrogate key column is
logical data type Numeric
without precision set.
Precision can be set in
preferences or domain
can be set to be used as
column data type

Relationships
 Can be bound to specific
unique identifier
 Or set to use surrogate key –
FK attributes are not
maintained in this case
 Added “transferable” property
to each relationship end
 Delete rule is transferred to
foreign key in relational model
as it’s set

Relationships, attributes
 M:N relationship – attributes
become columns of intersection
table
 1:N relationship attributes
become columns of child table;
for optional relationship -
additional constraint is required to
assure proper existence of these
columns; mandatory attributes will
be transformed into optional
columns

Relationships, attributes
 Dependent columns constraint is
created for start_date column; definition
is also manageable in column dialog

Foreign key, DDL for dependent columns
constraint – DM 4.0
 ALTER TABLE employee ADD CHECK
 (
 ( department_department_ID IS NULL AND start_date IS NULL) OR
 (
 department_department_ID IS NOT NULL AND start_date IS NOT NULL
 )
 )
 ;

Logical model – sub-typing and engineering
to RM
 Setting of engineering strategy in
entity dialog is removed –
“engineering strategy” property is
not used any more.
 “Engineer to” property is used to
define which entity from hierarchy
will be transformed to table.

to RM
 New page is added to
entity dialog with 3
sections:
– for quick reset of “engineer
to“ property of current edited
entity and its subtypes;
– for subtypes implementation;
– settings related to generation
of discriminator column;

to RM
“Sub-tree generation” has 4 options:
 “Do not preset” – “engineer to” property won’t be changed when
apply /ok button is pressed
 “Single” table” – “engineer to” property of current entity will be set
to selected and it’ll be cleared for all subtypes in current entity sub
tree
 "Table per child” - only leaves entities in current sub tree will be
selected for engineering, ‘engineer to” property for other entities
will be cleared
 “Table for each entity” – all entities in current sub tree will be
selected for engineering
“Apply to model” - allow changes to “engineer to” property to be
applied for all relational models or to specific model

to RM
Subtypes implementation - defines additional
details on implementation of entity hierarchy
References:
 None - no foreign keys are created between
tables
 Arc implementation - optional foreign keys (in
arc ) from super-type to subtypes are created.
Arc is mandatory if subtypes hierarchy is
complete

to RM
References:
Identifying - identifying foreign keys are
created from subtypes tables to super-
type table.
 Reverse arc is created showing that
record in only one child table can exist
for each record in super-type table.
 Arc is mandatory if subtypes hierarchy
is complete

to RM
Mixed settings for references

to RM
Discriminator column related settings
 “Generate discriminator” - Discriminator column is generated if property is set
 “Use attribute” - Allow existing attribute to be set to use as discriminator column
 “Column name” - Defines the name of generated discriminator column. Name
template is used if name is not set Not used if discriminator attribute is set.
 “Discriminator value” - Defines the value that is related to current entity and can exist
in discriminator column. Entity short name or entity name is used if not defined
 “Complete subtypes” - Defines the list of subtypes as complete. Has impact on
generated arcs and list of possible values for discriminator column. If the list of subtypes
is not complete then optional arcs are generated and value for current entity is included
in permitted list of values for discriminator column.

Entity hierarchy – single table
implementation
 Mandatory attributes in sub-types become optional columns, existence dependency
constraint is generated in addition to LOV constraint generated for discriminator column

Table – LOV constraint
ALTER TABLE TITLE ADD CONSTRAINT
CH_INH_TTE CHECK
(
TTE_TYPE IN ('MO', 'OF', 'ON’)
)
;

Table - existence dependency constraint,
“single statement” level of DDL
 ALTER TABLE TITLE
 ADD CONSTRAINT TTE_ExDep
 CHECK ( (TTE_TYPE = 'MO' AND offg_oflg1 IS NULL AND GME_CATEGORY IS NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS
NULL AND GME_MINIMUM_MEMORY IS NULL AND onlg_og1 IS NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND
MVE_DURATION IS NOT NULL AND MVE_MONOCHROME IS NOT NULL)
 OR (TTE_TYPE = 'OF' AND GME_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS NOT NULL AND onlg_og1 IS
NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS NULL AND MVE_AGE_RATING IS NULL AND MVE_DURATION IS NULL AND
MVE_MONOCHROME IS NULL AND MVE_AUDIO IS NULL AND MVE_PREVIEW IS NULL)
 OR (TTE_TYPE = 'ON' AND offg_oflg1 IS NULL AND GME_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS NOT
NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS NULL AND MVE_AGE_RATING IS NULL AND MVE_DURATION IS NULL AND
MVE_MONOCHROME IS NULL AND MVE_AUDIO IS NULL AND MVE_PREVIEW IS NULL)) ;

Table - existence dependency constraint
Three levels of
generation:
 Single statement-
difficult to find what is
wrong if constraint is
violated (DDL on
previous page)
 Discriminator value
 Column

“column” level of DDL
 ADD CONSTRAINT TTE_ExDep1
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'MO' OR offg_oflg1 IS NULL )
 ;
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'MO' OR GME_CATEGORY IS NULL )
 ;
 …………..
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'ON' OR MVE_PREVIEW IS NULL )

“discriminator value” level of DDL ALTER TABLE TITLE
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'MO'
 OR ( offg_oflg1 IS NULL AND GME_CATEGORY IS NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS NULL AND GME_MINIMUM_MEMORY IS
NULL AND onlg_og1 IS NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND MVE_DURATION IS NOT NULL AND
MVE_MONOCHROME IS NOT NULL)) ;
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'OF'
 OR ( GME_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS NOT NULL AND onlg_og1 IS NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS
NULL AND MVE_AGE_RATING IS NULL AND MVE_DURATION IS NULL AND MVE_MONOCHROME IS NULL AND
MVE_AUDIO IS NULL AND MVE_PREVIEW IS NULL)) ;
 CHECK ( TTE_TYPE != 'ON'
 OR ( offg_oflg1 IS NULL AND GME_CATEGORY IS NOT NULL AND GME_MEDIUM IS NOT NULL AND MVE_CATEGORY IS
NULL AND MVE_AGE_RATING IS NULL AND MVE_DURATION IS NULL AND MVE_MONOCHROME IS NULL AND
MVE_AUDIO IS NULL AND MVE_PREVIEW IS NULL)) ;

Next generation of Oracle Database – identity
column
 DM supports identity (auto increment) columns in Oracle Database 11g through usage of sequence
and trigger and that’s a viable option. Native support for identity column at database side just brings
another option to consider
 DM 4.0 will provide enough options to utilize new features of Oracle Database or stay with sequence
trigger approach

Next generation of Oracle Database – identity column, Trigger –
that’s the approach used before DM 4.0
CREATE TABLE Course
(
Course_ID NUMBER NOT NULL
) ;
ALTER TABLE Course
ADD CONSTRAINT Course_PK PRIMARY KEY ( Course_ID ) ;
CREATE SEQUENCE Course_Course_ID_SEQ
START WITH 1
NOCACHE
ORDER ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Course_Course_ID_TRG
BEFORE INSERT ON Course
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (NEW.Course_ID IS NULL)
BEGIN
:NEW.Course_ID := Course_Course_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL;
END;
/

column – identity clause
CREATE TABLE Course
(
Course_ID NUMBER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY
( START WITH 1 NOCACHE ORDER ) NOT NULL
)
;
ALTER TABLE Course

column, default clause
CREATE SEQUENCE Course_Course_ID_SEQ
START WITH 1
NOCACHE
ORDER ;
CREATE TABLE Course
(
Course_ID NUMBER DEFAULT Course_Course_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL NOT NULL
) ;
ALTER TABLE Course

Who’s looking at my sensitive data?

Next generation of Oracle Database -
masking
DM 4.0 will support 2 way of masking extending current support for defining and visualizing
of sensitive data
 REDACTION policies - each redaction policy can operate only over one table providing
masking definition(s) and condition when it's applied for one or more columns belonging
to that table.
 TSDP (Transparent Sensitive Data Protection) policies - TSDP policy can protect
multiple columns belonging to multiple tables, and more than one TSDP policies can be
used to protect columns belonging to one table. However it's important to note that
TSDP policies are implemented using Redaction policies and therefore it's not
possible to have Redaction policy and TSDP policy protecting one and the same
table.
 Implementation on both approaches starts with masking templates

Redaction
 Enables to mask (redact) data that is returned from the queries issued by low privileged
users or application
 Part of Oracle data security
 Real-time
 works well in dynamic production environment
 All referential-integrity of back-end data is preserved during the redaction process
 Different masking styles through different policies
 To comply with industry regulations
 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
 Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Oracle Data Redaction

Before
After

Masking Templates
 Masking templates for Character, Numeric and Date columns can be defined
 “Tools>Masking Templates Administration”
 Used in Redaction and TSDP policies

Redaction policy
 Definition of masking type and masking template at column level
 Only masking template related to column data type (Character, Numeric and
Date) are available for particular column

Redaction policy

TSDP policy
Following steps are required
1. Templates
2. To create sensitive type - sensitive types appear as kind of classification for associated with them
columns. Sensitive types are not "sensitive" to data type of columns associated to them.
3. Associate columns to sensitive type – directly from sensitive type dialog or through domain defined
as “sensitive”
4. To create TSDP policy
5. Associate sensitive types to TSDP policy
Templates, Sensitive types and TSDP policies can be used in all designs

TSDP policy, sensitive type
 Can be created in the browser

TSDP policy, sensitive type

TSDP policy, sensitive domain
 Domain can be associated with “sensitive type” and later assigned to columns/attributes

TSDP policy, create

TSDP policy, sub-policies
 It’s a collection of sub-policies – can be restricted to specific schema, table, data type

TSDP policy, sensitive types
