Data Model

You use a data model to interact with a database to create queries that specify which data to fetch from the database.

Data models make the database more accessible because they display database tables graphically as topics. They also:

Substitute descriptive names for arcane database table and column names. Create custom views of the data.
Add computed fields for performing calculations on the retrieved data.

Data Models are not visible in EPM Workspace. If a master copy of a data model has been associated with a query, you can link a query to it. See Inserting a New Query.
