Chapter 3 DBMS Reference Guide


Understanding DBMS categories

A DBMS definition can have the following categories:

Category Description
General Target DBMS identification
Script DBMS characteristics, command definition, and data type translations for the Script generation and reverse engineering
ODBC DBMS characteristics, command definition, and data type translations for the ODBC generation and reverse engineering
Transformation profile Lets you create profiles containing transformations used during model generation or applied in a model

Note that some DBMS do not display an ODBC category as it is not necessary to their definition.
