The first step is to open the PD software
The second step is to create a new Model
The third step is to create a PDM view and select the database you want to connect to
The fourth step is to connect to the data source
The fifth step all the way to determine and select the data source you just created
The sixth step is very important
The seventh step waits for generation
COPY the characters in Comment to the code in Name
COPY the characters in Name to Comment
Required mysql odbc connection software:
mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-win32.msi;
mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-winx64.msi;
When I first started using PowerDesigner 16 to connect to the MySQL database. I often report some errors because it has been too long, and I forgot to take screenshots at the time. I forgot the specific errors. I didn’t know how to solve them. I finally found out that a few softwares were missing. If you also encounter the same problem, You can go to your computer to see if you are missing a certain software in the screenshot below. I am a lazy person, and I do not intend to uninstall it after pressing several repeated software;
The first step: open the PD software;
Step 2: Create a new Model
Step 3: Create a PDM view (select the database you want to connect to)
Step 4: Connect to the data source:
Step 5: Confirm all the way and select the data source you just created
Step 6: Very important:
Step 7: Wait for generation:
Step 8: Because the name in the file is in English, no comments are introduced. Here we need to perform a step to replace name with Chinese comments
Step 9: renderings
Remarks:
COPY the characters in Comment to the code in Name:
