Reverse engineering enables you to take existing databases and create the corresponding tables and columns in the HOPEX repository.
Reverse engineering can be done from a previous database extraction. See Extracting Database Schema Description from Data Sources.
The tables and columns are integrated in a database where they can be easily maintained and documented.
