Tool Mentor: Managing Databases Using Rational XDE Developer - .NET Edition
Purpose
This tool mentor provides guidance in using the Rational XDE software
tool's functionality of comparing and synchronizing the Data Model with a database
or DDL.
This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.
Overview
The following step is performed in this tool mentor:
Rational XDE compares a Data Model with an existing DDL script file or database
schema. (See
.) The differences can then be synchronized between the model and the DDL or
database. (See
.) You initiate this comparison and synchronization process using the Data
Model to Database Synchronization Wizard. (See
.)
Rational XDE requires you to compare and synchronize your Data Model from the
database level. The DDL or database schema that you are comparing must use the
same name as your Data Model database. You must also compare to a DDL or database
that uses the same database management system (DBMS) as the Data Model database.
Refer to the Rational XDE online Help topic
for further details on comparing and synchronizing databases.
A connection with the database is needed for the compare and synchronization
process. The following Rational XDE online Help topics provide information on
establishing database connections for a specific DBMS:
