Detailed explanation-1: -Whether it’s rebuilding a car engine or diagramming a sentence, people can learn about many things simply by taking them apart and putting them back together again. That, in a nutshell, is the concept behind reverse-engineering-breaking something down in order to understand it, build a copy or improve it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Database reverse engineering is the process through which the logical and conceptual schemas of a legacy database, or of a set of files, are reconstructed from various information sources such as DDL code, data dictionary contents, database contents or the source code of application programs that use the database.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reverse engineering is the process of deconstructing or dismantling a product to learn how it works. It can also tell you more about the product’s design. You can reverse engineer consumer products, software, mechanical parts, pieces of technology or architectural structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reverse engineering is used to investigate a competitor’s product and learn about it so that we can design and market a superior product. Care is taken not to copy the circuits or knowingly infringe competitors patents.
