Chapter 2 Physical Data Model Basics


Logical model

The logical model allows you to design the database structure and perform some database denormalization actions. This model is independent from any DBMS physical requirement.

In PowerDesigner, you can design a logical model using a PDM with the <Logical Model> DBMS. This PDM is a physical model with standard objects, and without DBMS specific physical options and generation capabilities.

For more information on the logical model, see section Logical in chapter DBMS-specific Features.
