Oracle Table Editor

In the physical model, you can create the following types of tables:

A table box has a horizontal line, which divides the box. You can enter the primary key above the line and non-keys below the line. You can choose to migrate keys to either the primary or non-key area of the box. Each table that you add graphically appears on the diagram window.

Use the following options and tabs in the Oracle Table Editor to define table properties. You can open the Oracle Table Editor by selecting Target - Oracle, Tables on the Model menu.
