Fist of all, let me say that Enterprise Architect is a great product overall. However, whenever I use it, especially while using database modelling and DDL generation I run into bugs - lots of bugs. I think I can safely say that I've found at least one bug for every full day (8 hours) that I've used EA. This wasn't in beta releases, either. That's far too many bugs for a customer to find.
EA support is very good about responding to bug reports and fixing the bugs, but I believe you really need to improve your own testing to find more of these bugs yourselves. Also, there's no testing like eating your own dog food. I'm positive that if the developers of EA actually used it to model a real, production database they would find many of the issues that I've found.

You mean you can't model EA in EA?
Gosh!
But you are absolutely correct! Developers need to UNDERSTAND how users USE (and ABUSE - as in don't use it correctly, not hurl epithets at the screen every few minutes) their product...

In this matter I am trying to add a column for field which is a link to an enumeration to the DDL transformation...
This should be an integer or string column.... to work with hibernate enumerations...
I cannot find a way to add a column to the calling table from inside the Connector macro....
???
Did anyone solve this or is this simply not possible?
