I would like to have a standard set of attributes and foreign key relations repeated on many tables.
For example; Created By User Name, Created by Date and Time, etc.
Is there a simple way to set up such a group just the once and then include them on various tables without having to copy them eveytime?
Ideally if I want to add/change something about the set of common attributes then I need only change it once and it would automatically percolate through to wherever it is used.
I had the same problem. I am modeling a data warehouse so I have the same three metadata fields on every table but I could not find any way in Data Architect to set it up or maintain it over time. The search and replace, domain entity and modification and update functions were all disappointing in regards to these global columns.
Erik, that's all very well, but what if one doesn't have Java Skills, let alone knowledge in how the eclipse environment works? Do you have any example pluglets or links to how this might be done?
