Chapter 7. Database Design Models?the UML Profile for Database Design

In this chapter, we look at the process of moving from the logical design models into the database-specific designs and what happens once we get there. Also included in this chapter is the new UML Profile for Database Design created by Rational Software Corporation for use when designing a database. We look at the stereotypes used in the UML for database-specific needs, how they are implemented, and how EAB Healthcare has used the UML and specifically the Profile to model the company's database needs.
