You can create database diagrams in the Integration Definition
for Information Modeling (IDEF1X) notation to understand and develop
your database applications.
To create an IDEF1X notation diagram:
- In the Data perspective,
in the Data Definition view, right-click a
database project; then click New IDEF1X Diagram.
- In the New Data Diagram wizard,
select the parent folder (database project) and type a file name.
- Click Finish.
A IDEF1X notation database diagram is created and opens
in the diagram editor.
Note: The parent folder must be a database
project; otherwise, the Palette does not open in the diagram editor.
You can also create database diagrams from the Navigator or Database
Explorer views.
