Creating a physical data model by using a wizard

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:

  1. Click File > New > Physical Data Model from the main file menu. The New Physical Data Model wizard opens.
  2. 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.
