A system and method of relationship management for data modeling in an integrated development environment is provided. A method of incorporating a program code file includes generating a relational schema of symbols in the program code file based on a framework for models in the integrated development environment, the schema comprising at least two related tables; determining a relationship between the at least two tables in the relational schema; adding definitions from the program code file for symbols in the relational schema to a definition set retaining definitions of symbols; and producing proxy definitions for use with the definition set for each symbol in the program code file without a definition in the definition set.

Relationship management for data modeling in an integrated development environment

A method of validating a relationships table. The method includes generating a relational schema of symbols in the program code file based on a framework for models in the integrated development environment, the schema including two related tables. The method further includes determining a relationship between the two tables. Further, the method includes adding definitions from the program code file for symbols in the relational schema to a definition set retaining definitions of symbols. Additionally, the method includes producing proxy definitions for use with the definition set for each symbol in the program code file without a definition in the definition set. Furthermore, the method includes generating the relationships table in the relational schema containing the relationship between the two tables. Further, the method includes validating the relationships table by matching the symbols definitions and references, where the validation removes public symbols and referenced symbols from the relationships table.

A method of performing distributed development of a computer software application by using a WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) client, to access a WebDAV server, ensures that referential integrity is maintained when checking in documents from the client top the server.
