Generalizations

Toad Data Modeler implements the concept of metamodels. Metamodels are accessible only in Expert Mode (via Package Explorer).

Metamodel is a graphical representation of objects, classes, methods and relationships between them in a specific Package.

Using metamodels, you can create your own classes, methods and properties and define relationships between those items and items that are created in the application by default.

Important: It is recommended to only use lower and uppercase letters for naming your objects in metamodels (no numbers and special characters).

 

Example: The metamodel of Oracle package

 

Open Metamodels

  1. Open (or select Expert Mode Menu | Customization | Package Explorer).
  2. Select a package.
  3. Right-click the package and select Open Metamodel.

 

Create Generalization

Generalization is a link that defines a relation between two classes. Using generalizations, you can model inheritance.

Child class has all properties and methods of parent class, plus it may add new behaviors. If you create a new class (class name doesn't exist), then it will be necessary to define an inheritance to more general classes from the core or its successors.  

To create Generalization

  1. Click on the toolbar.
  2. Move your mouse cursor over the work area.
  3. Click parent class and then the child class.

Edit Generalization

  • Double-click the generalization line on the Workspace.

or

  • Edit the generalization in the Generalizations dialog (Model menu | Model Items |Generalizations).
