This paper presents a process to improve the reverse engineering of relational databases. Our process extracts the current aggregate relationships from a relational database through a combination of data dictionary, data schema and data instance analysis. The process we propose can refine conceptual diagrams of commercial tools with reverse engineering options as Power AMC (Sybase), Designer (Oracle).
