<<Oracle Apps does not maintain PK/FK relationships>>
what? isn't this against all modeling & design principles of databases?
putting PK/FK, constraints, etc IN THE DATABASE? am I or someone missing
something big here? admittedly, I'm new at this Ora Apps thingie and I've
read some articles that there are some 14,000 tables or so, across the
spectrum. I've downloaded the 26gb install but have not even started
entertaining installing this on Windows or Linux. ...but not having
integrity across that many tables, if this is true, is asking for trouble
big time, in my opinion.
cheers,

Unfortunately, except for a few tables in selected modules, Oracle
Apps does not maintain PK/FK relationships which these modelling
systems use to reverse engineer. There is some consistency in the
column and table naming, but I doubt this will provide limited help.
Another issue is just the massive number of tables in EBS and the
integration between modules that can prove to be more than daunting if
you attempt to draw a meaningful picture....

Just my 2c!
