What do you mean by the standard?

Oracle Designer will generate ER diagrams in a certain fashion based on your tables, relations, etc.

It uses certain symbols to represent primary Keys, Foreign Keys, Unique Keys, Not Null fields, etc.  The newest version of designer indicates datatypes as well.

Common usage for simple diagrams avoids dead crows (i.e. do not have a many to one relationship represented with the child above the parent).

Or are you attempting to create Oracle ERDs with another tool (such as Visio)?

PS I've got a good book on designing databases using CASE(Oracle Des2K).

Let me know if you want the details.

This is particularly for HENKA...

The diagrams in the pdf file u suggested, use a particular notation. That is what my friend calls Oracle standard....

I want to know how to draw diagrams using that standard. Hope u understand!!!
I think that a Tutorial and an Designer on-line help (Modeling entities and their relationship -> Introducing the Entity Relationship Diagrammer -> How to model entities ) would help you.
