RTF - additional table column fields needed
« on: May 25, 2005, 05:18:34 am »
I have created a data model with a number of tables.

I see that in EA the table columns are defined as attributes, and each column has a name, data type, description. Also each column is defined with a primary key (yes/no), not null (yes/no) and unique (yes/no).

By going to the [Class | Table Detail | Columns/Attributes... | General]-tab I see a list at the bottom that displays this info for each column.

I would like to create an RTF-document which per package element attribute also showing in the table:

- is a PK
- is a FK (if yes, to where)
- is mandatory (not null)
- is unique

How can I do this?

Bump.

In the hope that someone out there will see this and finally come up with an answer.

Thanks.

Bump. Bump.

Maybe this time around I might grab the attention of a kind and willing EA-representative who can finally help me?

Send a direct email.  The Sparxians are too busy fixing the bugs I report to look at the forums much these days. ;D

I already did, but that still doesn't help either.

Seems that there has been very little support lately via this forum for some reason.

Hi Guys,

I am very sorry about the delay in responding to this question.

Re: Not Null, PK, FK, Unique

Unfortunately these fields have not been exposed to the RTF editor yet.  These will soon be added to the list of available attribute fields.  This change is most likely to be implemented in our next major build, 5.1.

For what it's worth, there is a bit of a work around for PK and Not NULL.  These field map directly to the available fields AllowDup and IsOrdered respectively.  These fields will evaluate to either true or false.

Unique maps to IsStatic, and FK maps to IsCollection, however unlike PK and NotNull these fields evaluate to "static" and "IsCollection".

I hope this helps.
