The process of reading a database schema and producing a data model from that schema is known as:

  • A.data modeling.
  • B.
    database design.
  • C.reverse engineering.
  • D.
    None of the above is correct.

Answer: C

Correct answer: reverse engineering.

Reverse engineering works backwards from what exists: it reads the schema - tables, columns, keys, constraints - and produces a data model from it. Forward engineering runs the other way, generating a schema from a model. Reverse engineering is the first step in redesigning a database whose documentation is missing or has fallen out of step with what was actually built.
