Use the New Physical Data Model wizard to create a new physical
data model.
Prerequisites: Before you create a physical data model by using
a wizard, you must create a data design project in the workbench.
To create a physical model by using a wizard:
- Click from the main file
menu. The New Physical Data Model wizard opens.
- Complete the steps of the wizard. You can create a blank
model or you can use one of the provided templates. You can also choose to
reverse engineer the model from a database or a DDL file. If you choose to
reverse engineer from a database, you must provide connection information
on the next pages of the wizard. If you choose to reverse engineer from a
DDL file, you must provide the path to a DDL file in the next pages of the
wizard.
The physical model is created and displayed in the Data
Models folder under the data design project that you specified
in the Data Project Explorer.
