Creating a data development project

In this lesson, you will create a data development project that is associated with the connection to the DB2® SAMPLE database.

You use a data development project to create and store database application development artifacts, such as routines, queries, and XML files. Data development projects are associated with a connection so that you have the database metadata available as you develop objects.

  1. Click File > New > Data Development Project. The New Data Development Project wizard opens.
  2. In the Project Name field, type a project name (for example, testProject), and click Next.
  3. Under Connections, select the DB2 SAMPLE database connection.
  4. Click Finish. The new data development project is created and displayed in the Data Project Explorer.
  5. Expand the folders in the data development project to see what types of objects can be stored in the project. There are folders for different types of data objects and artifacts.
    Note: If you were targeting a DB2 Database for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows® Version 9.7, additional folders would be used to store PL/SQL artifacts.
