Why is it that when a ERD get passed thru the Database Design Transformer the resultant relational tables that are displayed on the Design Editor(Server Model,Relational Tabel Definition) have new attribute columns that I never included. They appear to be foreign key attributes, but I've already defined the attribute fields when I developed the ERD. Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks,

When using the ERD, you should not define attributes for foreign keys, just define the relationships. The transformer automatically creates the necessary columns in the tables.

Simple example ERD:

Dept( deptno(UID), dname ) --< Emp( empno(UID), ename )

== TRANSFORM ==>

Table DEPTS( deptno(PK), dname );
Table EMPS( empno(PK), ename, deptno(FK to DEPTS));
