Import DDL-Skript for Reverseengineering
« on: July 04, 2008, 06:14:47 pm »
Hello everybody,

i have a "big" DDL-Skript (~5000 lines) which creates and filles a DB2-Schema. My Problem: I do not have an equivalent EAP-file. My first idea was: "I can import Java-Files for reverse-engineering, why not a ddl-skript as well ..." But i do not find a way to do this, except install the skript on a DB2, link on it with ODBC, and extrect the structure from the DB. Is there an other, more effective way?

Thanks a lot
hasp

MS Access just does not support DDL scripts of that kind.

There are some third-part applications that do a good job of reading scripts from a variety of databases and setting up an equivalent (or similar) Access database. I don't know of any off-hand (I have simply built my own) or whether any are free. A quick Internet search should turn up several.

Does anyone know of a good candidate?
No, you can't have it!
