8.3. Create EER Model from Existing Database

This action item enables you to create an EER Model from an existing live database. Clicking this action item launches the Reverse Engineer Database. This is a multi-stage wizard that enables you to select a connection to a live server, and select the schema and objects you wish to reverse engineer into your new model. This is a convenient way to see how an existing database is structured.

For further information about reverse engineering, see Section 8.7.9.2, “Reverse Engineering a Live Database”.
