Roland,
I had a similar experience when trying to reverse engineer a third party
application (I needed a data dictionary but they refused to provide one) with
Oracle Designer. The problem was that the duhveloper made extensive use of
Oracle's object naming exception. We had object (table and column names) that
were case sensitive, started with an underscore, had spaces in them, etc... The
only way to reference objects like that is to enclose them in double quotes
which makes getting table definitions from the Oracle data dictionary VERY hard.
How do you fix it, Good question. I think one needs to go straight back to
the drawing board or find another vendor.

Hallo,
I am doing a reverse engineer of the Oracle database, which means that I am
loading the database into the program Erwin. When it i simported into erwin I
willbe able to seeall the relations, tables, views etc of the database. But
when i am doing the
reverse engineer I get many error messages during the process? Erormessages
which I get are for instance,
A: "Can' t load the table X".
B: ORA-error: Invalid Caracter - cant load the table.
Why is it so? Does it depend on the fact that some procedures are invalid in
the database ? or what is the reason to this?
What should I do to fix this thing?
Hope someone could help me.
Roland Sk�ldblom
