PowerDesigner procedure templates allow you to create procedures in a modular reusable fashion.
PowerDesigner provides certain basic procedure templates and also allows you to write your own. You can create procedure templates in your DBMS definition file or in your model. These elements will be available as follows:
Procedure template created in: |
Available to |
---|---|
DBMS (shared definition file) |
All models sharing the DBMS |
DBMS (copied definition file) |
Current model only |
For more information on the DBMS share and copied definition files, see Generating a Database from a PDM.
By modifying a DBMS template, you modify its definition in the current DBMS. You should only modify a DBMS if you have already made a copy of the DBMS definition file provided with PowerDesigner.
For more information on working with DBMS resource files, see the DBMS Resource File Reference chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
