 The NovoMotion Schema Editor is used to create or maintain the definition of the elements of a schema generator used with the the SQL environment.  Once the user has logged in through the [[novo_motion_u2_login|NovoMotion U2 Login]], the user will access the Schema Editor through the U2 Options view. The NovoMotion Schema Editor is used to create or maintain the definition of the elements of a schema generator used with the the SQL environment.  Once the user has logged in through the [[novo_motion_u2_login|NovoMotion U2 Login]], the user will access the Schema Editor through the U2 Options view.

-The SQL script can be pasted into SQL Management Studio and executed. It will drop any existing SQL table of the name defined in the schema and re-create it with the columns defined in the schema.
