Table Designer. Table Designer is the basic Navicat Data Modeler tool for working with tables. It allows you to create, edit and drop table's fields, indexes, foreign keys, and much more. Note: If you right-click the view connector, you can choose to add or delete vertices and change its color, or go to the source view or the target table. Option Description View Designer
Table Designer. Cardinality on table_name1 Set the cardinality on table_name1: None, One and Only One, Many, One or Many, Zero or One, Zero or Many. Cardinality on table_name2 Set the cardinality on table_name2: None, One and Only One, Many, One or Many, Zero or One, Zero or Many. Add Vertex Add a vertex on a foreign key connector. Delete Vertex Delete a vertex on a foreign key connector. Delete All Vertices Delete all vertices on a foreign key connector. Go to Source Go to and select the source (child) table. Go to Target Go to and select the target (parent) table. Paste Paste the content from the clipboard into the diagram. Select All Relations Select all foreign keys in the diagram. Delete from Diagram and Model Delete a foreign key from both diagram and model. Color Change the color of the foreign key. Chapter 5 – Logical Models Create Logical Models Navicat Data Modeler allows you to create logical models, including entities, attributes and relations. To create a logical model, select File -> New Model from the menu bar. In the New Model window, choose Logical as You can also use the following features to create a logical model: Import from Database - reverse engineer from existing databases/schemas or ODBC data source. Model Conversion - convert from a physical/conceptual model. Add Entities to Logical Model To add a new entity, click the Entity button from the toolbar and click anywhere on the canvas. To add an existing entity from the Explorer's Model tab, simply drag and drop the selected entity from the Model tab to the canvas. For Default diagram notation, the icon means the attribute is a primary key. The icon indicates that the attribute serves as an index. The pop-up menu options of the entity object in the canvas include: Design Entity Edit the entity structure in an Entity Designer, e.g. attributes and relations. Add Related Objects Add all related entities to the selected entity. Add Attribute Add attributes to the existing entity. Cut Remove the entity from the diagram and put it on the clipboard. Copy Copy the entity from the diagram to the clipboard. Paste Paste the content from the clipboard into the diagram. Select All Entities Select all entities in the diagram. Delete Delete an entity from the diagram or from both diagram and model. Rename Change the name of the entity. Color Change the color of the entity. Size to Fit Resize the entity automatically to fit its contents. Bring to Front Bring the entity to the foreground. Send to Back Move th...
