CHAPTER 9Creating Business Domain Components

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1855–1930),A Scandal in Bohemia

The first step in building a database application is representing features of the database: tables and views, constraints, and relationships. Business domain components—entity object definitions, associations, and domains—were introduced in Chapter 8. In this chapter, you will learn how to do the following:

■ Create entity object definitions from tables

■ Edit entity object definitions to delete entity attributes representing database columns you do not need

■ Add transient entity attributes to represent calculated values

■ Represent primary key, not null, and foreign key constraints
