Notes and Regions are not included in the generated SQL when ER Models are scripted to DDL. Notes and Regions are only for use labeling and organizing entities in ER Models.
Notes Notes are blocks of text that can be placed in an ER Model just like the other entities. There are four methods of creating a Note in the ER Modeler. 1. Right clicking within a sheet and choosing New Note from the menu. This puts a new note where the click occurs. The font of a note's text can be altered by double clicking the note and selecting a new font from the font dropdown at the top right of the Note Properties window.
Regions Regions are labled colored areas which sit behind entities in an ER Model and used for grouping entities which need to be moved together. All of the contents of a Region shift with a region when it is moved. There are four methods of creating a Region in the ER Modeler. Regions can be resized to hold more entities, and their colors can be changed. 1. Right clicking within a sheet and choosing New Region from the menu. This puts a new region where the click occurs. The color and label of a note can be altered by double clicking it and altering its properties in the Region Properties window.
Notes may be created by 1. Right clicking on the Notes node within the Model Browser and selecting New Note. 2. Left clicking the Note Entity icon in the Palette on the right and left clicking within a sheet. 3. Right clicking within a sheet and selecting New Note from the menu. 4. Selecting Edit > New Note from the Menu Bar.
The resulting note can be edited by double clicking it, which brings up the Note window. Notes can be positioned like the other entities, but do not play a role in schemas, relationships or views. They contain only text. A new region can be created by: 1. Right clicking within a sheet and selecting New Region from the menu. 2. Selecting Edit > New Region from the Menu Bar. 3. Clicking the Region Entity within the Palette on the right. The resulting Region can be given a name and color by double clicking on it, or right clicking it and selecting properties.
Items moved into a region move as a group with the region when it is moved.
NOTE: Regions do not appear in the Model Browser. Regions are editable only on the sheet they were created on. |
