Consistent foreign key names
« on: January 13, 2010, 01:30:43 am »
Hi,
using EA 7.5, what do I have to do to have EA being consistent in the operation / foreign key names?

EA applies a naming convention for new foreign keys / operations between tables, but if I change a table name, EA does not refresh the operation / foreign key name. It remains unchanged. Currently I delete and recreate the foreign key which is no long or mid term option.

stw and online help gave no answer.

TIA!

Regards,
Andre

Hi Andre,

EA doesn't referesh these.

Formally request a feature from Sparx.  You can use the [size=11]Feature Request[/size] link via the Support link at the top and bottom of the page.
Place a reference back to this topic in the feature request.  That way, the Sparxians can see any ongoing discussion.
If you get a response, please add it to the topic.

I would most certainly support a featre request for this.
Having key names no longer reflect their underlying attribute names leads, imho, to less comprehensible models (or laborious manual work to fix them)
