Capture and document relationships

Relationships between tables and data sets is crucial for any reporting and analytics. Those relationships are often unclear and can span across databases. Dataedo reads foreign keys from the database to the data dictionary, allows you to extend this information with manually defined relationships, and visualizes them with ER diagrams.

Organize databases with domains and data products

Data sources in your organization can hold hundreds or thousands of tables and data structures. It might be hard or impossible to make sense of this. Dataedo helps you manage this complexity by allowing you to create domains and data products and use them to organize large data sets.

Provide meaning with Business Glossary

Dataedo allows you to map data dictionary elements to terms in integrated business glossary – a global list of terms and definitions in your organization. This allows you to provide more meaning and definitions to data, add a voice from the business to data assets and make the documentation of data structures easier for IT.
