Generating a data model from DDL
« on: March 27, 2012, 11:16:46 am »
I read the help file in EA and it tells me to select import DDL from the code generation menu which appears when I right click my package name.

I do not see the option for importing DDL, (EA 8.0). I have the DDL script, is there anyway I can just run it?

FYI, It would be really helpful if the help files had step by step instructions with screen shots.

You cannot import a database schema from a DDL script.

You can import a database schema from a live database via ODBC...
