Understanding how data is structured inside your systems is critical. Until now, gaining a clear view often meant digging through endless tables, relationship lists, or scattered documentation. That slows down governance, complicates impact analysis, and increases compliance risks.

Accurity’s Data Model Visualization solves this problem by giving you a trusted, automatically generated view of how both physical and logical data models are organized. 

Built on Automated Metadata Extraction 

Accurity already captures and catalogs key metadata attributes such as names, types, lengths, and nullable status from internal systems including: 

  • Data structures (tables) 

  • Data fields (columns) 

Metadata extraction is fully automated through built-in connectors, ensuring that governance workflows always start from a reliable, trusted foundation. Manual creation of catalog items is also supported for logical data models. 

What’s New: Deeper Structure, Relationships, and Context 

Building on this foundation, Accurity now introduces: 

  • Primary key and foreign key relationship detection 

  • Database constraint extraction 

  • Database object comment capture 

This enriched metadata enables Data Model Visualization to: 

  • Detect and display real database object relationships 

  • Build interactive ERD-style diagrams for both physical and logical models 

  • Display database comments to enrich understanding 

  • Support flexible exploration, by manually selecting objects or automatically following foreign key paths 

  • Maintain metadata trust, with diagrams based only on extracted and audited metadata 

Key Benefits 

  • Visualize your database structures instantly 

  • Strengthen governance and impact analysis 

  • Reveal metadata context 

  • Enhance compliance and data quality initiatives 

  • Explore structures flexibly 

  • Rely on trusted metadata 

Why It Matters for Your Governance Strategy 

Data Model Visualization empowers organizations to: 

  • Accelerate metadata documentation and lineage development 

  • Improve transparency for compliance and audit programs 

  • Strengthen collaboration between technical, governance, and business teams 

  • Deliver governance rooted in clear, trusted, and verifiable knowledge 

When your structures are clear, your decisions and your governance are stronger.
