Template Selection

Whether you reverse engineer from a script or directly from a database, you can select a Physical or a Logical/Physical template. When you select a template, consider the design layer hierarchy and where the data model that you create by reverse engineering fits in the hierarchy. For example, you may want to begin with a physical model and then derive other models from that source. Or, you may want to reverse engineer a logical/physical model and split that model into separate logical and physical models. You can then use either model as a source for other models in the design layer hierarchy.
