Document fragment with Custom Query

[jpb1904]

Hello all,
I am using Custom Queries for retrieving EA-data from the database which is going well. But now I want to generate a diagram, using the database and store it via my template / custom fields in my documentation.

How can I do this ? Are there blob-like fields in the db? Or is this not the correct approach. I know about software developing in VB, so there might be the solution.

You can create a diagram with a script and then add that to the template.
I'm doing that for a couple of complicated documents.

You can't get the diagram image from the database directly.

Thank you, I'm at the moment busy finding out how the scripting works and that's going fine; Hello World works as custom field and I managed to create a document.

Is there a reference manual somewhere ? Can you help me on my way for this particular subject?

I presented a webinar about scripting a while ago and there is the book about scripting by Thomas Kilian
Furthermore there's the help file, and lots of examples provided by Sparx.

There also is a learning centre topic about script fragments.
