Use the Properties view to set the transformation properties of
attribute objects before you transform a logical data model into a physical
data model.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: Before you modify the properties of logical data
model objects, you must open a logical data model in the logical data model
editor.
About this task
To set attribute transformation properties for logical to physical
data model transformation:
- Select an attribute object in the Data Project Explorer or in a
diagram.
- Click to open the
Properties view, if the view is not already open.
- On the General page in the Properties view,
modify the Persistent property as needed.
If
you select Persistent, the attribute is transformed
to a column. If you do not select Persistent, the attribute
is not transformed.
Restriction: If the attribute is part of
a primary key, an alternate key, or an inversion entry that is set to be transformed
to an index, you cannot modify the persistence property. These attributes
are always transformed.
- Save the logical data model.
