    • Some - can only reverse engineer the entire database at once and drops any user modifications to the diagram (can't "refresh" the diagram to match the database)
  • Forward engineering - the ability to update the database schema with changes made to its entities and relationships via the ER diagram visual designer
    • Yes - can update user-selected entities
    • Some - can only update the entire database at once
