Defining the database


The database concept has a dual purpose. In itself it represents a container for database physical concepts (such as tablespaces), but it also acts as a deployment node by linking data models, domain models and operation libraries that have a common target system.

In order to add a database, select project > Add > Add database > target system of your choice.

A representation of the database is needed to connect to the physical database.


Deployed models




Binding options

Data model Domain model Operation Library These links are used in functions (validation, forward engineering) and in the association of model elements with database’s physical objects.

In order to be able to define tablespaces, the data model must be linked to the database that contains information regarding those tablespaces.
