Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2

Now that you have specified your project’s application settings, click Finish, and the new
project is created in your workspace in the Data Project Explorer view, as shown in Figure
5.8.
Figure 5.8 – A sample data development project
Figure 5.8 also shows that data development projects contain sub-folders that can be used
to create and store database artifacts that you develop. The sub-folders of a project
depend on the database server product and version used. For example, the PL/SQL
Packages sub-folder is displayed only for projects associated with a DB2 for Linux, UNIX
and Windows server that is version 9.7 or above.
5.1.2 Creating a data design project
Next we will create a data design project. You use data design projects to store data
modeling objects like logical data models, physical data models, domain models, glossary
models, and SQL scripts, including DDL scripts. Other file types such as document files,
text files, presentations, or spreadsheets are also stored in the project.
To create a new data design project, make sure you are in the Data perspective, and then
select File -> New -> Data Design Project, as shown in Figure 5.9.
