Data Vault

Hi!

I would really like to have some support for Data Vault modelling.

For the beggining would be enough to have some attribute at table and column level where i can say this is a Hub / Satellite / Link table and then visualize the model as a hub and spoke model.

When visualizing you could choose different level of details (just hubs, hubs + links , all). Display each entity type with different color and shape.

At the moment i do this manually, but is quite time comsuming.

Are there any plans to natively support Data Vault modeling ?

Thanks you,
Radu

Hi,

thank you for your request. Currently we do not plan to add support for Data Vault modeling, but I have one suggestion for you.

Create three categories, Hub, Satellite and Link Table. Define different color for each of the category. Then assign entities to particular categories.

There also is a simple macro that allows you to to assign entities to categories quickly:
