Retro engineering : class/SQL schema
« on: May 11, 2011, 05:40:20 pm »
Hi

My client sent me the DB schema i.e. all CREATE TABLE SQL scripts
I'd like to generate a DB diagram in EA from these scripts, and then generate a class diagram .

Any hint on how to do this?

thanks
Guillaume

- Create the database using your script
- Import the database structure via ODBC into EA

Strangely enough since EA can generate SQL scripts to create the dB tables from your db schema model, you would think that it can read SQL CREATE scripts to generate a model instead of having to create the schema in a DBMS and import via ODBC.

Unless EA9 supports this..
