The data model

Drawn from the real tables. The full model with its dictionary, from ER/Studio, joins this section next.

As they arrive

The sources

Four source tables and the source system seed: every column real, each relationship the sources never declare drawn dashed with its measured match rate.

The course's source data, as it landsFour source tables from three sources: Sunbelt Senior's client list and policy sales data, Northfield Life's policy data, and Pinecrest Mutual's policy data for the learner's labs. No source declares how its rows relate to another table's; the dashed relationships hold only where the values match, and the agent is an entity no source sends.Sunbelt Senior's client listSUNBELT.CLIENTCRM_ROW_IDCLIENT_NUMBERFIRST_NAMELAST_NAMESTATELOADED_ATSunbelt Senior's policy salesSUNBELT.POLICY_SALESALE_ROW_IDPOLICY_NUMBERCLIENT_NUMBERCARRIER_CODEROLESOLD_ONAGENT_NAMEAGENT_NPNPLAN_NAMELOADED_ATAgent, sent by no sourceknown only by the producer numberNorthfield Life's policy dataNORTHFIELD.POLICYPOLICY_NUMBERINSURED_IDINSURED_NAMEBIRTH_DATEADDRESSFACE_AMOUNTSTATUSEFFECTIVE_DATEWRITING_AGENT_NPNLOADED_ATPinecrest Mutual's policy dataPINECREST.POLICY, for your labsPOLICY_NUMBERPLAN_NAMEFACE_AMOUNTSTATUSEFFECTIVE_DATEWRITING_AGENT_NPNLOADED_ATclient numbercarrier and policy numberproducer numberSunbelt Senior (SSI)Northfield Life (NFL)Pinecrest MutualTap to enlarge

As integrated

The vault built from them

Four hubs, three links and four satellites; the carrier the labs add drawn dashed.

The vault the course buildsFour hubs keep the business keys, three links record which keys belong together, and satellites keep each source's details with their history. Pinecrest Mutual's policy details, drawn dashed, are what the learner's labs add.Sale details(satellite) Sunbelt SeniorPolicy details(satellite) Northfield LifeClient on policy(link) with the roleInsured on policy(link)Client(hub) client numberPolicy(hub) carrier's policy numberInsured(hub) insured numberClient details(satellite) Sunbelt SeniorAgent on policy(link)Insured details(satellite) Northfield LifeAgent(hub) producer numberPolicy details(satellite) Pinecrest MutualSunbelt SeniorNorthfield LifeYour labsHubs and linksTap to enlarge
