Abstract

 

Database reverse engineering is the science of analyzing existing database designs. One motivation is to salvage ideas and data from past systems for possible use by new systems. You can also understand legacy databases when documentation is lacking. Such insight is essential when building data warehouses and enterprise data models.

 

This talk will reverse engineer several example databases. Our intent is to give a flavor of database reverse engineering and demonstrate its utility.
