Can you import relationships via CSV?

[jplusip]

Generally I've just used it to bring in model elements, but now my team is trying to bring in an Access database that has relationships built in.

Is there a way for them to export CSV files in such a way that we can create the relationships between model elements that they have in their database?

Use either the CSV ex/importer that comes with the EA scripts or use Geerts VB solution. You need to code the relations in addition to the elements yourself.

We provide a platform to export / import csv content with relationships.

For a database you best use the reverse engineering process over ODBC.
Right click on a package and choose Code Engineering|Import DB Schema from ODBC

Is this capability available in all editions of EA? I'm running version 12 but whenever I right click on a package and go to Code Engineering the Import Schema from ODBC is grayed out. If it is available in all editions, is there some up-front work I need to be doing?

Thanks!

On this page http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/compare-editions.html database engineering is available in all but the desktop edition.
I expect this feature to be part of database engineering.

Turns out that the Code Engineering on this project has been locked away behind administrative rights, hence my confusion. Ah well.

Anyways, thanks for the help guys!
