Because a bitmap index is an Oracle specific feature that can only be done in the Physical Model for Oracle RDBMS.

You define the indexes in Relational Model. First go to Table Properties of the table you want to create an index for and press the green plus. Add the information needed.

Index1

Then in Physical Model (for Oracle RDBMS) select that index and define it as bitmap index.

index2

When generating the DDL, you will get something like this:

CREATE BITMAP INDEX Orders_Customer_CustNO_IDX ON Orders
(
Customer_CustNO ASC
)
LOGGING ;

 

Note: If you want ALL your indexes in Oracle RDBMS to be bitmap indexes, you can define a template for indexes and set bitmap as a default. First enable the defaults for Oracle Physical Models Index Templates in Preferences:

3bitmap1

Then set (Press View/Edit) the default for Bitmap Index as YES.
