Build 855 -> Database Engineering -> DDL Tran...
« on: October 25, 2010, 10:02:24 pm »
Hello again and greetings to all using Database Engineering in EA.
In Build 855, the change ->
DDL Transformation updated to set foreign key column to NULL if source multiplicity is optional (*) or (0..*). was introduced.
It replaced the behaviour in late 7.5 builds, that extracted the NOTNULL or NULL of a foreign key column based on the destination multiplicity.
Does anyone know what was the reason for that change? Was it a user request or was it a lost branch? I have working models that only work if the destination side multiplicity is set to reflect NOTNULL, NULL.
Is this something that could be added to the "generate DDL" Dialog, if the source or the destination is the source of nullability for the foreign key?
Please let me know
Thanks
Peter
