Physical Display Levels

The Physical Display levels are as follows:

Table

Displays the name of each table in a data model inside a box. No other information displays for the table.

Column

Displays the columns for each table in a data model, with the primary key columns above the line and the non-key columns below the line in a box.

Primary Key

Displays the primary key columns (those found above the line in a table box) for each table in a data model. The columns below the line are hidden, but display when you switch back to the Column Display Level and you can also see them in the Table Column Editor.

Keys

Displays primary key columns above the line and does not display any non-key columns below the line in a table box. Table boxes have two column boxes; the upper populated with the PK columns and the lower populated with the columns belonging to all key types except PK.

Comment

Displays the comment for each table in a data model.

Icon

Displays the bitmap, if you have assigned one to the table. You can assign a different bitmap to each entity in the Icon tab of the Table Editor.

Physical Order

Displays the order in which each column appears in the corresponding table.

The following diagram uses the same tables and illustrates each of the physical display levels:
