• Key Concepts: 
  A conceptual data model is a type of data model used to define the structure of a database. It is a high-level representation of the data that is used to communicate the overall design of a database to stakeholders. In SAP PowerDesigner, conceptual data models are used to define the structure of a database in terms of entities, attributes, and relationships. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PowerDesigner, conceptual data models are created using the Model Editor. The Model Editor allows users to create entities, attributes, and relationships that define the structure of the database. Once the model is created, it can be used to generate physical data models that can be used to create actual databases. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a conceptual data model in SAP PowerDesigner, it is important to ensure that all entities, attributes, and relationships are properly defined. This will ensure that the physical data model generated from the conceptual data model is accurate and complete. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that conceptual data models are meant to be high-level representations of the database structure and should not contain any implementation details.
