erwin Data Modeler generates a SQL script or DDL that you can execute in Vertica to create the database.įollow these steps to implement a database model in Vertica:ĭesign a logical/physical diagram of the database you want to implement in Vertica. Once you have finished your design you can implement it in Vertica. You can design a database model using erwin Data Modeler. For details on creating a Vertica 64-bit DS see, Setting Up an ODBC DSN Implementing an erwin Data Model in Vertica - Forward Engineering
#ERWIN DATA MODELER DRIVER#
Once you have installed Vertica’s ODBC driver in your erwin DM machine, create a 64-bit Data Source Name (DSN) to connect to Vertica.
#ERWIN DATA MODELER INSTALL#
You only need to install the ODBC driver.
#ERWIN DATA MODELER DRIVERS#
The client package includes other drivers such as ADO.NET. To install the Vertica ODBC driver, follow these steps:ġ.ĝownload the latest version of the ODBC client package from the Client Drivers page on the Vertica website.Ģ.ĝouble-click the installer and follow the prompts to install only the ODBC component. Double click the installer and follow the prompts for installation.Įrwin Data Modeler uses ODBC to connect to your Vertica database.Download the software from the download link provided to you.Fill out the form and click Request Trial.erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition 2021 R1 (64-bit) Build: 23459.erwin Data Modeler provides tools for collaboration, synchronization, version control, and documentation.Įrwin Data Modeler is a 64-bit application available for Windows and uses Generic ODBC to connect to Vertica. Reverse engineering refers to generating a data model from an existing database. Forward engineering refers to designing a data model before building the database. You can use erwin to forward or reverse engineer your database. A data model is a graphical representation of a database. erwin Data Modeler OverviewĮrwin Data Modeler is a data modeling software. The basic steps to reverse and forward engineer a Vertica database using erwin Data Modeler are described in this document. This action will synchronize the schema and the model. There are two main use cases of erwin DM in the development life cycle of a Vertica database:ġ.Ĝhanges to the schema are made to the model first and then forward-engineered to the Vertica database.Ģ.Ĝhanges are made directly to the schema in Vertica and the schema is reverse-engineered into the model in erwin DM. The goal of this exploration is to understand the use case of erwin Data Modeler (DM) with Vertica. Vertica and erwin Data Modeler: Technical Exploration About this Document
