How does Forward Engineering differ from Reverse Engineering in terms of the direction of model transformation?
- Creating a database schema from a conceptual data model
- Inferring a conceptual data model from an existing database schema
- Modifying an existing database schema
- None of the above
Forward Engineering involves transforming a conceptual data model into a database schema, essentially creating the database structure from an abstract representation. In contrast, Reverse Engineering transforms an existing database schema back into a conceptual data model, providing insight into the database's structure.
