  • Learn More

Select one or more entities to delete from your Relational or MongoDB model. Deleting entities allows you to:

  • Customize the size of your diagram.

  • Focus on entities you select.

  • Visualize your relational database's schema to help determine how to best represent your data in MongoDB.

  • You can revert any deletion.

  • Deleting an entity on the Relational Model is the equivalent of removing a table from the project's model.

    • To revert this change, re-add the table to the Manage Relational Model dialog. See manage the relational model.

  • Deleting an entity on the MongoDB Model is the equivalent of removing all mappings to that collection.

  1. Select the entities, and press delete on your keyboard.

    Relational Migrator prompts removal commands that include either removing the entity from the model or hiding the entity from the diagram.

    Note

    You can also right-click the entities and select Remove Entity to prompt removal commands.

  2. Specify where you want to delete the entity. Select Remove from relational model or Remove from MongoDB model.

  3. Click Remove x tables or Remove x collections. The button is modified to reflect what you have selected to delete.
