18. www.ddss.arch.tue.nl 7M822 Mapping Logical Design To Database Design Synchronization Classes > Tables Attributes > Columns Associations > Relations Normalization There are more ways to do it

19. www.ddss.arch.tue.nl 7M822 Mapping Classes To Tables Map persisted classes to tables Many to many associations must be broken down to one to many associations using an association table.

20. www.ddss.arch.tue.nl 7M822 Mapping Subtype Classes to Tables One table per class One table per concrete class One table per hierarchy

21. www.ddss.arch.tue.nl 7M822 Mapping Attributes to Columns Map persistent attributes Dont map calculated attributes Can use Generic Types first, later use database specific types. Generic Types: Boolean, Currency, Date, Double, Integer, Long, Single, String
