You made changes to your data model and must forward these changes to your database. That can be done very easily with DeZign for Databases. Connect to the database, reverse engineer the database, display the differences between the model and the database and select which differences you want to move to the database. A database update script will be generated for you.

- Generate database.
DeZign for Databases generates a new database directly from your data model. For SQL databases, the SQL DDL scripts to create your database will be generated. For non SQL databases, the physical database files will be generated directly. In this demo video we will generate the database creation script for a MySQL 5 model.

- Create a new subdiagram after making a selection.
There are multiple ways to create a new subdiagram. In this demo video we will make a selection of entities in the diagram window and then use the "New diagram from selection" feature to create a new subdiagram for the selected objects.

- Reverse engineer a database from a SQL script.
DeZign for Databases offers two ways for reverse engineering (importing) existing databases. Through a direct database connection or through a SQL script containing the commands (CREATE TABLE etc) to create the database objects. In this demo video we will import a database dump of the MS SQL Server 2005 AdventureWorks database.
