DDL transformer template
« on: May 23, 2006, 12:22:20 am »
Hi,

I want to extend the template but can't find enough information on how the original template logic is working and how to customize write transformer templates. Main purpose is to change the naming of PK and FK to apply to naming conventions.

Greetings

That is, because it is not so easy :-/ I wrote some additions by myself (create associations for n-m relations with foreign key inheritance). In the end I used the automation interface with EA_EXEC_ADDIN. It will take you some time to learn either the intermediate transformation file syntax and the automation interface. But once you got it, it will help you a lot. It took me at least one week to see the first results, but now I can do things I never have dreamed before.

Mano,

Look in the User Guide, under Code Engineering. This is Chapter 10 in the guide as of EA build 790.

There are numerous examples within the forum here, but you really need to play with this a bit before they will be helpful.

Thomas: I have you beat here. Without even learning the syntax I was able to "do things I never have dreamed before."  :o

Where I spent my first week was trying to clean up the results.
No, you can't have it!
