Creating a data design project

In this exercise, you will create a data design project in which to store your data model.

Before you create data models or other data design objects, you must create a data design project in which to store your objects. You can store various types of design objects in a data design project including data models, SQL scripts, and XML schemas. Data design projects can be shared among team members by using the source code management capabilities of the workbench. If you were working in a team environment, you could now share the project using the team support.

To create a data design project:

  1. From the main menu, click File > New > Data Design Project. The New Data Design Project wizard opens.
  2. In the Project Name field, type EMPLOYEE, then click Finish.
The project is displayed in the Data Project Explorer.
