Should look-up tables be included on a UML conceptual database model? (I will include them on my logical model).
For example, if I’m dealing with a database that records details of projects my team is involved in… and there is a known list of ‘project status’ – would:
PROJECT (1..1) -> HAS -> (1..1) PROJECT_STATUS be valid?
(The PROJECT_STATUS entity will only store an ID and a status description when implemented physically)
Cheers,
Mitch
No. The implementation detail of how project statuses are stored is not important to understanding the Concept that you’re storing objects of type ‘project’ in the database.
