Connecting Oracle SQL Data Modeler to Subversion
Version control systems are good environments to facilitate collaboration and record different versions of information. Subversion is the version control tool which is currently integrated with Oracle SQL Data Modeler, and can be primarily used for collaboration. Subversion enables multiple people to use and share the same information.
Data models can be developed from a top-down approach (reports and requirements), or a bottom-up approach (source systems). Up until now, we have focused on the top-down aspect.
