Generate the Schema

You can preview your schema as many times as you want. When you are satisfied with the content of the schema, you can generate it to your target server.

To generate the schema

1. Start the schema generation process using one of these methods:
   • From the Preview dialog, click Generate.
   • From the main Forward Engineer Schema Generation dialog, click Generate.

   The <database> Connection dialog opens.

2. Enter the required connection criteria. Click Connect.

   The schema generation process begins.

   As the schema is generated, you receive status information. When you select the Stop If Failure check box in the dialog, you can choose to Continue or Abort the generation.

   

Note: To fix an error found during generation, click Abort and then return to the Schema Preview dialog, where you can find and correct the source of the error.
