Accessing data models

In this exercise, you will access data models from the Derby SAMPLE database. The Derby SAMPLE database is provided with this product. You will use the schemas in this database for your relationship mapping.

To access data models:

  1. In the Data Source Explorer, right-click the Derby Sample Connection, and select Connect.
  2. In the window that opens, keep the default settings and click OK.
  3. Expand the SAMPLE database node, and the Schemas folder.
  4. Expand the SAMP schema, and the Tables folder.
  5. Select the Department table, hold the mouse button down, and drag your mouse from the Data Source Explorer view to the Data Models folder under the project that you created.
  6. Release the mouse button while highlighting the Data Models folder.
  7. Select the Project table in the Data Source Explorer, and drag and drop it to the Data Models folder.
You now have two data models in the Data Project Explorer that you can use to create mapping models: Sample.dbm and Sample2.dbm.
