This task outputs a physical database design which is represented as a physical data model. This model is the source
from which the schema data definition language (DDL) code for direct physical implementation of the target database is
created.
Typically an idealized design of the database is used as an input to this task. Primarily driven from a business
context, this logical design is created without consideration for the target implementation environment. Progression to
a physical design involves making adjustments to the model in order to account for various implementation
considerations and performance requirements.
