Redgate Data Modeler currently supports schema import/export using a Java utility. As more teams standardize on modern SQL DevOps workflows, it would be incredibly valuable to support direct import of schema metadata from a Dacpac.

Many of us are now using:

SQL Database Projects

SqlPackage / DacFx

CI/CD pipelines that produce Dacpacs

Microsoft Fabric Warehouse deployments

Being able to import a Dacpac directly into Redgate Data Modeler would:

Align modeling with real deployment artifacts

Eliminate fragile reverse-engineering steps

Improve DevOps consistency

Reduce manual transformation work

Enable cleaner integration with Fabric Warehouse and Azure SQL–based platforms

Dacpacs are the de facto standard artifact for SQL schema deployment. Supporting them natively would modernize the modeling workflow and better integrate Redgate tools into current data engineering practices.
