  • Reverting a Current State Model of a Database to a Pre-refactored State
    Publication number: 20130085991
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards transforming model elements, associated with a current state model of a database, to a pre-refactored state. While applying refactoring operations on the database, identity change information is created that comprises each model element associated with the refactoring operations. Using the identity change information, a pre-refactored state model of the database is created. Using the model element in the pre-refactored state, a visual representation of a comparison between the pre-refactored state model and the current state model is produced.
