Data types missing
« on: April 23, 2008, 06:36:08 pm »
I don't seem to have any data types in my EA model of my database.  The model was created using the reverse engineering option, but when i go to try and add a new primary key, the data type of the id column disappears.  If I open the column properties and click on the data type dropdown, nothing appears in the list.

How can I get the data types added?

Thanks

Make sure that you have a database set for your tables. Check this by looking at the properties of one of the tables on your diagram.

If the database is not set, or does not match up with the one you imported, then you need to define a new default for your model.

Do this with the Tools | Options | Source Code Engineering | Code Editors dialog, or use the Setting | Database Datatypes dialog. [Either one will set the default, you don't need to do both.]
