Creating, Upgrading, and Dropping the Repository Database

The repository administrator is responsible for creating the repository database, and may need to subsequently upgrade or delete it.

For information about creating a repository, see the Installing the Repository chapter in the Installation Guide.

• Upgrading the Repository
  When you upgrade PowerDesigner, all modules installed on your machine are upgraded, including the repository. You cannot upgrade the repository through a repository proxy connection. You must use a direct ODBC connection instead.
• Dropping the Repository Tables
  The Drop Repository Tables command removes all repository tables and their content from the database and cuts the connection with the database.
