Reverse Enterprise Object Framework to Class Diagram and Entity Relationship Diagram

Enterprise Object Framework (EOF) is a set of tools and resources that map relationship database to object model. And Enterprise Object Modeler (EOModeler) is a powerful graphical tool for reverse-engineer existing databases or to design schemas of a new database. In order to support Mac user deeply, Visual Paradigm makes DB Visual ARCHITECT (DB-VA) to support EOF now! You can use DB-VA to reverse and generate EOF. DB-VA provides a better graphical user interface and wider database schema support. This is the way to extend your database or EOF faster, better and cheaper. In this article, you will learn how to reverse an EOF to Class Diagram and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) with DB-VA.

  1. Create EOF project from EOModeler
