Defining SQL Server Objects

Follow these steps to create SQL Server objects and define their properties:

  1. In the Model Explorer, right-click the required object and click New.
    An instance of the object is created.
  2. Right-click the newly created instance and click Properties.
    The object's property editor opens.
  3. Set the values of all the required properties.
    For information on properties, refer to the corresponding object's property page from the SQL Server Support Summary topic.
  4. Click Close.
    The object is created and the required properties are set.

Refer to SQL Server database documentation for detailed information on specific SQL Server objects and properties. erwin® Data Modeler documentation for the property editors provides brief descriptions of the controls on each dialog box and tab, which you can use as a point of reference.
