Features: PowerDesigner10 is a new software analysis and design tool released by Sybase, and it is currently one of the most popular software analysis and design tools. This book first introduces the basic concepts and operations of PowerDesigner, then focuses on database system design modeling, covering several key sections such as Conceptual Data Model (CDM), Physical Data Model (PDM), Multidimensional Data Model, Document Generation (Report), and Version Control (Repository). With a practical approach, the book explains concepts through examples, aiming for clear understanding and application-oriented learning to help users comprehensively and systematically master PowerDesigner. In the Document Generation (Report) section, it adopts a problem-oriented approach to systematically explain how to solve practical issues encountered during document generation, thereby creating documents that meet users' specific needs. While introducing PowerDesigner, the book also incorporates basic theoretical knowledge related to the subject, assisting readers unfamiliar with the tool in grasping it quickly for better usage. Additionally, the book includes a chapter of frequently asked questions and answers from CSDN users, compiled by the author, presented in an FAQ format. This aims to address as many practical application issues as possible for readers, which is a unique feature of the book.
This book requires readers to have a certain foundation in database knowledge and basic software engineering principles. It is suitable for database analysis and modeling personnel, project managers, and software developers interested in analysis and design, as well as serving as a textbook for database design.
