Update a meta-schema from database

Update a schema file to its associated database.

  1. Right-click on the meta-schema file in the Projects or DB Schemas tab.
  2. Select Update Schema ... or Update from Database.
  3. Complete the Update meta-schema dialog as described in Extract meta-schema information from database. The Merge with existing meta-schema check box will be checked.

    This option will merge any changes made in the structure of a database into your meta-schema file. This requires that you have access to the database. Any information that you have added to the meta-schema will be preserved.

    When the changes are merged, the Meta-schema Manager verifies that the database objects in the original meta-schema still exist. If the object is no longer present in the database, it is removed from the meta-schema.
