Understanding relationships between tables is crucial for any querying and development of any database. Those relationships are often less than obvious and foreign key (FK) constraints are rarely defined (for a number of reasons). You are often left with guesswork or help from someone “who knows”.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Let Dataedo extract what FK constraints there are in your database and capture all the other relationships only known to people in your team. So that no one needs to be guessing.

• Extract foreign keys
• Define additional table relationships
• Visualize table relationships in ERDs

Describe data elements

Data structures in real databases are often confusing. There’s a number of reasons for this. Dataedo provides your team with a place to capture descriptions of each data element so that you do not need to guess what ‘A’ value in status field means, is order.date the date order was entered in the system or placed by customer and what the heck does attribute1 mean...

• Provide descriptions for tables, columns, functions, procedures and more
• Provide meaningful aliases
• Add additional custom fields

Organize large database with subject areas

Real databases have hundreds or even thousands of tables. It is really hard to find a table with data you need or figure out what is this particular table used for. Dataedo helps you manage this complexity with so called “modules”, which you can think of as folders organizing objects in your database.
