Hi,Firstly, I am very new to the data architect world, coming from an Oracle developer background, so please bear with me.I have a question I would like to ask about ER/Studio, but it is probably more about a general approach than anything.I am creating an Enterprise Data Dictionary for a reverse-engineered database.I have started creating Data Domains, and then binding them to the columns in the physical model.The reverse-engineered database is a bit of a mess tbh, and there are columns that mean the same thing with different column names.For instance there is a Book Title which is held as TITLE_FULL, TITLE, TITLE_WORK etc in different tables.I would like to create a Domain "TITLE" which I then bind to all of the Title columns across the tables.When I start binding the Domain to the columns, the column names in the physical model change to what the Domain name is (sometimes, sometimes not curiously) - there is obviously a setting in ER/Studio "synchronize Domain and Attribute/Column Names".But I dont necessarily want to change the column names in the database, just to ensure they follow the Domain attributes.So first question...is my approach completely wrong?, should I be creating the dictionary/domains against the logical model first in this case, and then if/as we change the physical model bind them there too?Also I was wondering if there was a way to report out of ER/Studio which columns do not conform to a specific domain? ...or would you just achieve this by querying oracle's built in data dictionary.I would also like to ask if there any good training resources or reading material around (preferably not in the US), or specific training courses in ER/Studio, I cannot seem to find much when I google.Any answers or feedback would be much appreciated.Again apologies for my lack of knowledge on the subject!
