The Entity Table contains three classes of rows that represent:

▪diagrams (such as Data Flow Diagrams and Entity Relationship Diagrams)

▪symbols (that are contained in the diagrams)

▪definitions (that may define symbols or may be stand-alone definitions).

Various database and derived fields exist within the Entity Table that can be used by the Reporting System in either Tabular or Matrix reports (see Predefined fields). In a Tabular report, the fields can be specified in a SELECT command. In a Matrix report, the fields can be specified by either a COLUMN command or a ROW command. In either type of report, the WHERE command can be used to specify the field.
