convert imported sql tables to classes

[farsh]

Hi everyone,

I am working with a SQL database.  It is already designed and approved.  Now I need to design the frontend in VS VB.net.

I need to know how I can convert my tables that I imported from sql into classes?  I have alot of tables and don't want to type in all the attributes again.  I can adjust the associations and inheretance later.

If I can do it, then this software rocks.

thanks for your help.

Hi,

look into EA's transformation functionality (introduced in 6.0 I think).
On a related note, I would be a bit concerned about creating the object model after and based on a data model. Automated generation of data model from object model is never perfect, but the other direction tends to be much worse.

Hope this helps,
Bruno
