Can I put serveral models in one SQL database?
« on: April 15, 2009, 01:17:57 am »
This is probably going to sound like a silly question to long time EA users, but I haven't been able to find the answer in the documentation or here on the forum. The question is...

Can I put more than one model in a single SQL Server 2005 database or do I have to create one SQL Server database for each model? If it's possible to put more than one model in a single database, how is it done?

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Each EA repository does require a seperate Database on the SQL server (however you can have multiple Projects/models within one repository).

To add to what Dermot said, the Full Model Data Transfer feature only allows for transfer of one model file into your DBMS repository.  Attempting to transfer a second model file will overwrite the first.  To add a second model into your DBMS repository, you will need to perform an XMI Export from your original model and Import the resulting file into your DBMS repository.

To actually add another model you have to right-click on the top level element in the tree and select "New Model (root node)..."
