Understanding relationships between tables is crucial for querying of a database. Those relationships are often nonobvious as foreign keys are rarely defined in a database schema. Without this information you left with guess work, asking your colleagues, and exposed to errors in your queries.
But it does not have to be that way. Allow Dataedo to extract what foreign keys information is defined in a database and complete the rest in the same format so that you have a complete view of the relationships in your database. No more guessing.
Do you know what attribute1 column means? Is it in use? Or how is due_date calculated? Or what does ‘A’ value in status column mean? Data structures can be confusing and sometimes misleading and Dataedo allows you to explain meaning and purpose of each data element in your database. You can annotate data elements, provide meaningful aliases, and add additional information in structured format using custom fields.
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.
There is no single person in your team or organization that knows it all. Dataedo’s shared metadata repository and community feature allows your entire team to collectively capture and preserve what you know about your databases.
