Setting preferences for naming standards for data model analysis

Use the Naming Standards Preferences page to set naming standard preferences for data model analysis.

You can specify preferences for naming standards using the Preferences window. These preferences are used during model analysis for naming standard compliance.

To set preferences for naming standards for data model analysis:

  1. Click Window > Preferences from the main menu.
  2. Click Data > Naming Standard.
  3. On the Logical page, set preferences for entity and attribute object names. You can specify whether prime words, class words, and modifiers are mandatory or optional, and the order in which these elements should occur. You can also specify valid separator characters.
  4. On the Physical-Table/Column page, set preferences for table and column object names. You can specify whether prime words, class words, and modifiers are mandatory or optional, and the order in which these elements should occur. You can also specify valid separator characters.
  5. On the Physical-Other page, set preferences for data object names. The preferences for data object names are used as the default for new object names, and also during model analysis to validate naming standard compliance.
  6. On the Glossary page, specify a default glossary model. You must specify a glossary model that is stored in a data design project. When you specify a default glossary model, this model is automatically selected whenever you perform a data model analysis.
