Generating an annotated schema for Microsoft SQL Server 2000

To generate an annotated schema by mapping through the XML Builder Wizard:

1In the PDM menu bar, select Tools→XML Builder Wizard. The Model Selection dialog box appears.

2 Select the new model option. Type a name and a code for the new model, and select XML Schema Definition 1.0 or XML-Data Reduced

1.0in the XML language dropdown listbox.

or

Select the existing model option. Select a model in the XML Model dropdown listbox. This model must be targeted with XSD or XDR.

3 Click Next.
