Using the Tools Panel

The 'Tools' panel provides facilities for working with various kinds of schemas. The powerful Database Builder is accessed from this panel, as well as facilities for importing existing database schemas from a wide range of supported database products, generating DDL scripts from your database model, and managing and editing the templates used in generating those DDL scripts.

Facilities for importing both XSD and WSDL files, and for generating XSD and WSDL files from your model, are accessed from this panel.

Also accessed from this panel is the model Scripting window, which provides the means to manage, create and edit automation scripts to work with your model.
