Abstract
A database modeling computer system defines a first entity, a second entity and a relationship between them according to an entity-relationship data model for a database. The database modeling computer system associates a first data volume attribute value with the first entity and a second data volume attribute value with the second entity. A database creation system selectively merges the first entity and the second entity into a common table, in response to the first and second data volume attribute values. Related systems, methods and computer program products are described.
