Importing a Model

Go Up to Creating and Working With Data Models

ER/Studio Data Architect allows you to import models from several other applications. This section describes the following import methods:

• Importing a Model from an ERX File
• Importing a Model from External Metadata
• Importing a Model from a SQL File
• Importing a Model from a JSON File
• ER/Studio MetaWizard Import/Export Bridges

Note: For the best performance when reverse engineering large databases, select Circular or Tree as the initial layout of your model.
