Creating an empty model

You can create a model that is empty (or contains no schemas).
Prerequisites: You must have a project in the Data Project Explorer view before creating an empty model.
To create an empty model, complete the following steps:
  1. From the main menu bar, click File > New > Physical Data Model. The New Physical Data Model wizard starts.
    You can also invoke the New Physical Data Model wizard by using either of the following methods:
    • Click the down arrow on the New button on the main menu bar, and click Physical Data Model.
    • Right-click a project in the Data Project Explorer view, and click New > Physical Data Model.
  2. Complete the steps in New Physical Data Model wizard to create a new model:
    1. Choose to create the model from a template
    2. Select Empty Physical Model Template as the template.
The model is added to your project, and it is displayed in the navigation tree. You are now ready to work with the model. For example, you can edit the model or apply an SQL script to populate the model.
