RE: Reverse engineering

Roland,

        Erwin has options for importing text files, so you could dump the ddl for tables you are having problems with (Or all tables for that matter) and import them as text into Erwin. At least you can play around with the text file and hopefully figure out what the invalid character is, if you are just trying to build a logical model you can strip most of the columns out of the text file and start from there.

HTH,

Hallo,

I am doing a reverse engineer of the Oracle database, which means that I am loading the database into the program Erwin. When it i simported into erwin I willbe able to seeall the relations, tables, views etc of the database. But when i am doing the
reverse engineer I get many error messages during the process? Erormessages which I get are for instance,
A: "Can' t load the table X".
B: ORA-error: Invalid Caracter - cant load the table. Why is it so? Does it depend on the fact that some procedures are invalid in the database ? or what is the reason to this? What should I do to fix this thing?
Hope someone could help me.
