Opening a Schema Definition for Editing

Note:

Opening a schema definition from the data store is not supported in DocumentDB.

You can modify schema definitions that are saved in a local JSON file or in a data store. Open a schema definition in the Schema Editor and then use the options in the Design View to modify it as needed.

To open a schema definition from a JSON file:

  1. Choose one:
    • In the start page, click Modify Local Schema Definition.
    • Or, in the Design View or Sample View, from the menu bar at the top, select File > Open.
  2. Browse to select your JSON file and then click Open. A connection dialog for the data source will be displayed.
  3. Enter any required data for connecting to your data source and click Connect. For more information see Connecting to a Data Store.

The schema definition opens in the Design View.

To open a schema definition from a data store:

  • In the start page, click Modify Database Schema Definition, provide your connection information, and then click Connect. For detailed information about how to specify connection information, Connecting to a Data Store.

The schema definition opens in the Design View.
