Abstract
Database Reverse Engineering is a technique used for transforming a relational schema into a conceptual schema for finding and fixing design flaws, for maintaining and re-engineering database systems for the integration of database system with another and migration of a database system from one platform to another. The authors studied the approaches from year 1993 to 2006 to find out which EER construct cannot be retrieved by most of the DBRE approaches so that they can be retrieved in the future. For each EER construct that can be retrieved by using a given DBRE approach, The authors show whether they are retrieved without user involvement (automatically), partial user involvement (semi-automatically) or full user involvement (manually). They also discuss the relevant advantages and limitations of each DBRE technique considered in this paper.
