Appendix Objectives

• Learn how to create data models in Microsoft Visio 2010

• Learn how to create database designs in Microsoft Visio 2010

• Understand that Microsoft Visio 2010 has a template for creating process diagrams using Business Processing Modeling Notation (BPMN)


G-3

The Database Model Diagram

• Microsoft Visio 2010 uses the Database Model Diagram template as the basis for:– Data models (Chapter 4)– Database designs (Chapter 5)

The Entity Relationship (US units) Stencil Objects II

• The Entity object—Use this object to create entities (data model) and tables (database design) in the Microsoft Visio database model diagram.

• The Relationship object—Use this object to create relationships between tables in database designs.

• The Dynamic connector object—Use this object to create relationships between entities in data models.

• The View object—Use this object to create SQL views (discussed in Chapter 3A) to data models and database designs.


G-11

The Entity Relationship (US units) Stencil Objects III

• The Category object—Use this object to create supertype/subtype relationships in data models and database designs.

• The Parent to category connector object—Use this object to create supertype/subtype relationships in database designs.

• The Category to child connector object—Use this object to create supertype/subtype relationships in database designs.

Data Models versus Database Designs

• In Microsoft Visio 2010 we use different connector objects when building Data models (Chapter 4) and Database designs (Chapter 5).– The Dynamic connector—Used between two

entities, this is just a line, and has no primary key / foreign key data—used for data models.

– The Relationship connector—Used between two tables, and incorporates primary key / foreign key data—used for database designs.


G-22

Copying Database Model Diagram Files

• Make two copies of the existing Microsoft Visio 2010 drawing for use when building the data model and database design. There are now three versions of the file:– The original WPC-Database-Model-Tables.vsd file—

This file is our basic working file with only the tables in it.

– The WPC-Database-Design.vsd file—This file will be used for our WPC database design.

– The WPC-Data-Model.vsd file—This file will be used for our WPC data model.

Business Processing Modeling Notation (BPMN) in Microsoft Visio 2010


• See the Microsoft Visio Insights blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visio/archive/2009/12/03/bpmn-support-in-visio-2010.aspx for a good discussion of BPNM in Microsoft Visio 2010.

• Unfortunately, full BPMN support is only available in the Visio Premium edition (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/visio-edition-comparison-FX101838162.aspx ).

• For more information on BPMN, see the Object Management Group’s Business Process Management Initiative Web page at http://www.bpmn.org/.
