Table editor
The Table Editor is used to define a table and its subordinate columns:
•Triggers
•Indexes
•constraints
•other properties, based on the target DBMS.
See also Overview of column definitions in a table.

Physical name
(Read only.) If the name of the table on the database is longer than 128 characters, the value is entered by the Reverse Data Engineer from the database. In that case, the name of the table in the model is the first 128 characters of the physical name.
Check constraint tab
