Entity
Fulltext Index tab
Search Property List
Fulltext Index tab, new combo box Search Property List.
SearchPropertyList object has only listing function. It is not possible to define it (CREATE/DROP/ALTER not supported).
Data Compression Tab
Description Column
Take notice of the Data Space area. If you click Filegroup, list of file groups will become available. If you select Partition Scheme, the options will change.
Description text box - The description text is generated in final DDL script.
Note: To generate the table, column descriptions for SQL Server db in Toad Data Modeler, schema/owner has to be defined. Please see the Entity Properties form | General tab and from the Schema box select a schema or click the icon on the right to open the Schema dialog and define a new schema, then select it for the entity.
Index
Columnstore option
Type of Index box - new Columnstore index type. For Columnstore indexes, many options are available, though they are not valid and they do not get generated.
Spatial Index Parameters Tab
New Spatial Tessalation Scheme box with new options GEOMETRY_AUTO_GRID and GEOGRAPHY_AUTO_GRID. Based on selection, further Bounding Box and Grids options are enabled or disabled.
Cells Per Object— Default value changed to empty from 16.
The FilestreamFilegroup box
The FilestreamFilegroup box is available only for Clustered indexes - see the Data Space area. In tables that are not partitioned, you can make selection from a new list Filestream Filegroup. In partitioned tables, you can make selection from a new list Partition Scheme.
|
|
Note: To be able to define Filestream Filegroup, the database requires columns with the Filestream property in a table. |
Possibility to define Filtered Index in the Expression for Filtered Index (WHERE) box.
Data Compression Tab
On this tab, you can set Data Compression either for all indexes (combo box "Compression Type") or for particular partitions. (To accomplish this, it is necessary to select checkbox Set Compression Type on Individual Partitions and fill out the box in the Set Compression Type on Individual Partitions area. See the auxiliary combo box Compression Type for Partition, box Partition Number and button Add to List).
Secondary XML Index Parameters Tab
Spatial Index Parameters Tab
|
|
Note: Now index can be generated as normal (relational) index, primary XML index, secondary XML index and Spatial index. What index will be generated is selected automatically by the following conditions (particularly by data type of particular attribute):
- If index has only one column and this column is of XML type, XML index will be generated. For the XML index it is searched whether the box "Primary XML index..." is filled out. If it is filled out, then it is a secondary XML index. Otherwise it is a primary XML index.
- If index has only one column and this column is of Geometry or Geography type, Spatial index will be generated then.
- Database requires a primary key in a table if Spatial Index exists. User has to arrange it on his own.
|
Key
Data Compression Tab
On the Data Compression tab, you can set Data Compression either for all key (combo box Compression Type) or for particular partitions. (To accomplish this, it is necessary to select checkbox Set Compression Type on Individual Partitions and fill out the box in the Set Compression Type on Individual Partitions area. See the auxiliary combo box Compression Type for Partition, box Partition Number and button Add to List).
|
|
Note: To load Data Compression defined in index during reverse engineering, it is necessary to select the Load Index Options checkbox in the Reverse Engineering Wizard (it is selected by default). |
General tab - take notice of the Data Space area. If you click Filegroup, list of file groups will become available. If you select Partition Scheme, schemes will be available.
Index Options tab - Detailed settings for index of the key should be defined here.
Index Options Tab

Data Space
Take notice of the Data Space area. If you click Filegroup, list of file groups will become available. If you select Partition Scheme, schemes will be available.
View
User Data Type
When you select TABLE from the Type box, the User-Defined Table Type Definition window will display. Here, write the text that is defined in syntax in brackets after AS TABLE, for example "a int, b int" (without the quotation marks).
Although this type is available in attributes, it is not possible to use it there.
When you click the Generate SQL Only checkbox, the SQL tab will display.
Function
When you select the CLR Table-valuedFunction, the Order (List of Column Names) box will become available. Here, you can define order (column names should be separated by commas).
When you select the Aggregate Function, you can write more input parameters separated by comma to the List of Arguments box.
Extended Properties
Extended Properties are supported for the following objects (generally where comments are supported):
- Objects with new tab Extended Properties.
- Objects for which Extended Properties are loaded during reverse engineering as a text as for example After Script, function parameters, procedure parameters, view columns, key/index/foreign key for Filetable.
See other objects in Model Explorer:
- Filegroups
- Partition Schemes
- FilestreamFilegroups - Similarly to Filegroups, FilestreamFilegroups work in Toad Data Modeler only as a list. During script generation, the FilestreamFilegroups definition is not generated and during reverse engineering the definition is not loaded either (only names are loaded).
- Stoplists - Similarly to Filegroups, Stoplists work in Toad Data Modeler only as a list. During script generation, the Stoplist definition is not generated and during reverse engineering the definition is not loaded either (only names are loaded).
