Step 3 — Create Database Tables for Objects

The demo database is fully functional as initially installed, but empty. It is necessary to create database tables corresponding to the robot's domain model (the kinds of objects that the robot will extract). The robot's domain model has been created with ModelMaker and is included as part of the installation, and ModelMaker is also the tool you will use for creating the database tables.

Start ModelMaker, e.g. via the Start menu (on Windows systems). In the welcome screen, select Open another domain model..., click OK and open the Tutorials\TipDB.model.

Opening the TipDB.model

Now select the menu item “Tools” | “Create Database Table”. In the dialog that appears, select “Demo Database” and “TipDB” as shown below:

Creating the Database Table

Clicking Generate SQL will open another dialog with an SQL statement to execute. Accept it by clicking Execute, then OK and Close.

You will not need ModelMaker for the rest of this tutorial, so you may close it.
