A class diagram and a data model are two different things.  A class diagram
shows the relationships between classes which are defined as a set of objects
that share the same operations, attributes, methods, relationships, and
semantics..  A data model shows the differences between entities which are
defined as a person, place, thing, concept, or event that is relevant to the
enterprise.  The process (or methodology) one goes through to develop a class
diagram is different than the process (or methodology) one goes through to
develop a data model (entity relationship diagram).  Having said that, you
certainly can model an entity relationship diagram with the UML notation, and
yes Rose supports it.  There are some good white papers on the Rational site
that go into detail on how to model entities, attributes, and relationship using
the UML notation.

Hi

Do you know where I can find the rules to convert a class diagram into a data
model diagram?

Can it by done using Rose?

Can Rose do it by it self?

Can Rose create some kind of Sybase database?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards.
