Saving a Diagram

You can save a diagram by choosing either the Save or Save As commands from the File menu. Database Designer for MySQL saves the diagram by generating a specially formatted file (with the .mdd extension) that contains the diagram and it properties. You can also save the current diagram by clicking on the Save () button from the Standard toolbar.

If you are saving a diagram for the first time, use the Save command to provide a name and location for the diagram file. Diagram file names must meet the requirements of a standard Windows file name.

If you are saving a diagram which diagram file was previously saved, use the Save command to replace the file contents or the Save As command to save the diagram with a new name or location.
