Author Topic: How to duplicate tables in DB diagram? (Read 6055 times)

Hi,

I have a DB diagram with several very large tables. I need to make new tables that are almost identical. Is there any way to make a copy of the existing tables and modify those instead of creating completely new ones?

Regards,
Mario

Do you need a copy of the diagram or of the table?

Just a copy of the table.

Use Copy/Paste / Copy Package to Clipboard and / Paste from. This will create a clone of the package. Assuming your tables are in a single package.

The fastest way to make a copy of one or more elements is to select them on a diagram, hold the control key and then drag them to an empty location on the diagram.

huh :-? wow!

EA is full of these kind of little gems

hold the control key and then drag them to an empty location on the diagram.

ie. the same action you can use in Windows explorer to duplicate files.
