Import OpenEdge Project Database wizard


This wizard helps you import a database model from one of the databases configured for an OpenEdge project by creating a new OpenEdge database diagram or updating an existing database diagram in the workspace.


Here is how the Import OpenEdge Project Database wizard looks like:

Diagram exists confirmation


If the database diagram file selected already exists in the workspace the following prompt appears:



    • Override, the database diagram content is completelly overrided with model of database being imported
    • Cancel, the import process stops and the database diagram file remains unchanged
    • Append, the database model being imported is added into existing database diagram. If the diagram is not empty (it already has tables, areas or partitions defined) the imported database model will be added as a new database in the diagram, otherwise the diagram's root database is updated.
