Steve Solves Stonehenge Mystery!
For generations Stonehenge has mystified us - "Why was this built?" No longer a
mystery Steve Hoberman has determined it was the Druid's first attempt at data
modeling. Says Steve: "It occured to me while studying the placement of these
large stones, especially that large associative entity over there, that they
were building some sort of data model. It is obvious that before the days of
data modeling tools, modelers had to use more primitive ways to capture
information such as through stone..." |

I usually recommend data modeling training shortly after potty training. In our
first formal data modeling lesson, I was impressed how quickly Sadie and Jamie
were able to pick up the basic modeling concepts. If you look closely at this
picture, you will notice on the data modeling tool we are using, the Doodle Pro,
the two entities CHILD and TOY have a many-to-many relationship. This was not
only a lesson in data modeling but also a lesson in sharing. A CHILD can play
with many TOYs, and more importantly, a TOY can be played with by many CHILDREN.
Unfortunately, a toy being played with by more than one child is a rule which is
still being debated within our household!
