PowerDesigner + Reverse engineering

Question

I am using PowerDesigner to model my SQL Server database. I used the reverse engineering option in order to import my database. My problem is that the default data in the tables is not imported.

Does anybody know how to import the data in the tables?

Answer 1

this cannot be done using power designer.

Answer 2

for us such problem obtained too problem was the name of the table with special symbol ('), after that table description Powerdesigner imports nothing from the script

Answer 3

It's not possible to reverse engineer a data from the database and store them into a PowerDesigner model.
Instead you are able to define a Test Data Profile for each table, column and generate test data (your default data) from PDM to sql-script.

Answer 4

It is not posible directly. However what you can do is next:

• extract the necessary data in INSERT INTO %TABLE%"(..... format from some other database client
• Right click on table, click "properties" click "script" tab and again "end" tab and paste your INSERTs there
