Running Synchronization After Modifications
When a database has been synchronized and then manually modified, any additional specifications made directly in the database are retained, unless:
• Reinitialization is requested.
• Changes made in the data diagrams prevent this (addition or deletion of objects or links).
These changes include:
• Creation of entities, associations, attributes in the data diagram
• Deletion of entities, associations, attributes in the data diagram
• Modifying the characteristics of an attribute
• Modifying the name of an attribute, entity, or association
• Modifying the maximum multiplicity of an association
• Modifying the links of an association
Additional specifications made to the relational diagram may include:
• Deleting objects created by the synchronization
• Creating objects
• Modifying object characteristics created by the synchronization
• Modifying the order of columns in the tables, keys, or indexes
