Specifying the generated tables and columns name in the physical model

General Questions/Discussions

Hi all,

Is it possible to specify which naming convention we would like to use when generating the physical ERD from the logical ERD ?

for now, the physical tables are getting the column ID, and the foreign keys are my_tableID.
Would it be possible to have the column named id and the foreign keys named like my_table_id ?

Best regards,
Sylvain

Dear Sylvain,

Thank you for your inquiry. Please try the steps below:

  1. Select Window > Project Options from the main menu

  2. In the Project Options window, select “Diagramming” on the left

  3. Open the “ERD & ORM” tab

  4. Scroll down a bit. Add an underscore to the Foreign Key Pattern.
