2e Model Files

Way back in 1991 a guy called Steve Hinzmann did a talk at a Synon user group.

I've never met the chap and have no idea where he is now and what he is up to.

However, I did discover his document many years later and it has been invaluable for learning the underlying data model of the 2E product.  This has allowed me to build numerous tools and utilities at various sites and assist other developers with queries based over the 2E model database.  Connect with me (somehow) if you want me to send you a copy of the presentation.

I've shared the document to all and sundry over the years but every time, I say "x page is outdated", it "doesn't cover arrays, triggers" and lots of other features that have made it into the 2E product since version 3.  The fundamentals are solid though!!!

Recently I had a bit of spare time so I decided to document the 2E model (ERD) to assist a colleague whilst they were exposing a data dictionary.  I also built lots of queries to help us ensure our standards were being followed thereby refreshing myself of the nuances within 2E model.



The document can be downloaded from here.

This is a fluid document and there may be an error or two.  Let me know and I'll keep this up to date.  Please share if you feel others will get some benefit from it.

Steve's document is a lot more detailed and is a must read for anyone wanting the get to grips with the underlying files etc.  One day I may have a little more time to update this also :-)

Thanks for reading.
