Abstract
Provided are techniques for identifying normalization violations. Selection of one of a data model, a portion of the data model, and an object in the data model is received. Selection of one or more normalization rules is received. One or more normalization violations are identified in the one of the data model, the portion of the data model, and the object in the data model using the one or more normalization rules. The one or more normalization violations are displayed.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for identifying normalization violations, comprising:
- receiving selection of one of a data model, a portion of the data model, and an object in the data model;
- receiving selection of one or more normalization rules;
- identifying one or more normalization violations in the one of the data model, the portion of the data model, and the object in the data model using the one or more normalization rules;
- and
- displaying the one or more normalization violations.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- receive selection of one of a data model, a portion of the data model, and an object in the data model;
- receive selection of one or more normalization rules;
- identify one or more normalization violations in the one of the data model, the portion of the data model, and the object in the data model using the one or more normalization rules;
- and
- display the one or more normalization violations.
A system, comprising:
- logic capable of performing operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving selection of one of a data model, a portion of the data model, and an object in the data model;
- receiving selection of one or more normalization rules;
- identifying one or more normalization violations in the one of the data model, the portion of the data model, and the object in the data model using the one or more normalization rules;
- and
- displaying the one or more normalization violations.
