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:
Click Window > Preferences from the main menu.
Click Data > Naming
Standard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
