Database design for Service Oriented Architectures

Service

Database

Service

Service protocolTypically defined using XML

Structure for input parametersStructure for results

Service protocolServices communicate with

other servicesDatabase protocolQuery or update of databasesStored procedure call

Map XML to databaseUnderstand how interfaces relate to physical database

Visualize XML protocolUnderstand elementsUnderstand types

Create database modelTransform from UML model

Create an information model

Information Management

6

Create database model

Initiate information design with transformation from system architecture models or

Reverse engineer your current databases to create a data model or

Import your existing data model from other tools or

Create the model based on a model template

Information Management

7

Visualize XML protocol

Import XML protocol specification in your project

Use XML schema editor to understand the required structure for the service interface

Information Management

8

Map service interface schema to databases schema

Define how service interface relates to the underlying database schema

Specify details of necessary transformations to realize service interface

Understand how to provide information in the right format

Generate necessary SQL statements
