Choosing the format of data to import

The New Diagram Wizard gives you a choice of the following formats of data to import:
  • Flat file, for example, Microsoft® Excel® file in CSV (comma-separated values) format
  • XML file in diagram format
  • Database supported by JDBC™ (Java Database Connectivity), for example, Microsoft® Access®
  • User-defined model, to start from a default data model with a few data items
The example built up in this section uses data in an XML file.
For an example of a database, see Importing data from a database. For an example of a flat file, see Importing data from a flat file. For an example of the user-defined option, see Creating a user-defined data model.
