About Generating Entity Objects, Associations, and Database Tables

You can either create database tables or business components first, and then automatically create the other based on the definitions:

• reverse generation — You create the database tables first.

• forward generation — You create the business components first. You could use the business components wizards and editors, or the Class Modeler.

You can use the Class Modeler to create business components. See Modeling Business Components for more information.
