How to connect one entity with its sub-entities?
For example, I have an entity named PEOPLE. PEOPLE has two sub-entities, TEACHER and STUDENT. In old version Visio, there are a 'Category' shape and a 'Category to child' connector that allow to add branches. But Visio 2013 totally changed the shape in Crow's Foot Database Notation, and there is only one 'relationship' connector. How to connect child-entities to the parent-entity in Visio 2013?
I was in the same situation today.
I found a solution which might not be useful for you today, but may help others like me.
Solution is very simple, you just have to drag a new connector and connect with the main connector.
If someone have a better answer please post here. Thanks

I am a Java/C# programmer, now I join a company which has some projects developed by PowerBuilder. I just wonder that how does the SAP people (the people work for SAP but not from Sybase) look at PowerBuilder? Will SAP give up PowerBuilder? Many thanks.
PowerBuilder makes money. SAP likes money.

I have been working with SAP for more than 4 years and I do not even know what Powerbuilder is.
I've been working with SAP for 5 years or so, and for SAP for almost 1 year now.
The only Sybase product I've ever heard of (and actually used) is Sybase Unwired Platform, but I guess that is because the current team I'm part of is pretty much focused on mobile and ERP solutions.
Answering your question: I don't believe SAP will give up PowerBuilder, but that's just my opinion.
I am only able to use connectors in enterprise architect with traditional 0..* style multiplicity rather than crow's feet connectors. I've tried using different drawing styles and still cannot work out how to change the connectors. Any help would be very much appreciated :)
I found a way to use the crow's foot notation. Actually it's pretty simple. Here's how to do it:
Right-click data-diagram and select properties (you can do it in the working area directly or through browsing the Project Browser).
Navigate to the Connectors tab.
On the right side you'll see a small section labeled "Connector Notation", there you select "Information Engineering" and that's it!
I have a pending project that may or may not be a good candidate for leveraging SQL Server Analysis Services. The project is based around business metric calculations.
Does anyone have some good recommended reading for a crash course in SQL Server Analysis Services that'll let me catch up to speed on what the capabilities and uses are to help me decide if it is worth digging in to further?
Thanks
I've been reading Delivering Business Intelligence with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 by Brian Larson and think this is the best book for a beginner on the subject. He is a good writer and has an easy style. His focus is on the overview and allowing you to understand SSAS basics. I'm not sure a seasoned pro would get much out of it, but for me it was perfect. I've also got the Wrox Professional book, which has far more detail but is a less enjoyable read.
here is the answer for a similar question on stackoverflow, and has some useful links for a SSAS beginner. However some links for msdev.com are not working as given in th eanser but rest are good.
I want to know if you know other beautiful database drawing software other than visio.
Because i think visio is not delegant enough. So Can you give me some advice?
Thanks a lot.
I do not know Visio, but I have been using Dia for almost 10 years, and it's great. It's also free (as in speech).
Some people have compared Dia favorably to Visio.
Try www.magicdraw.com.
It produces beautiful diagrams.
Oracle Designer is the best i have ever used. however, it does not come cheap...
SQL Server has built in functions to create graphs.
Saves you from creating a graph first and than the db schema.
MySql Workbench is a nice Designer and free. The only drawback I find is that it only produce scripts for mysql.
Does anyone have experience working with Oracle User management? Any idea if it can be easily used to register users and roles into Oracle OID? And how I can use the defined roles in my application (i.e. should I hard code them)?
I've asked several questions on this topic and have gotten little response.
I think the community here isn't geared so much for this and you'd be better off here at the Oracle Forums.
