General Board / Re: Table space size?

« on: April 02, 2008, 12:21:12 pm »

Anybody know if this is possible within the current feature set?

(Alternatively if there's an easier way to do this outside of EA that I've overlooked, I'm happy to be pointed in that direction too...)

General Board / Table space size?

« on: April 01, 2008, 05:47:05 pm »

Is there any way in Enterprise Architect to export or obtain the table size (in bytes) from a database schema diagram?

I'm creating a new schema and I need to give the DBAs an idea of the required table space.  I know roughly the expected data volumes for each table, but I need to multiply these by the space needed for each row, and I'd rather not have to go through the painstaking task of adding up the bytes for each field in each row in each table.

cheers,
Ian

Thanks, but even if I copy a package which exists in the source but doesn't exist in the destination, it still doesn't work.

In the end I laboriously reproduced it manually.  An enterprise modelling tool without copy and paste...very frustrating.

Thanks for the answer Roy.  However, it seems that when I do the XMI export/import, the packages get imported but not the package's contents (all our classes).  This overwrites all packages in the destination, not just the ones I tried to export, and quite horribly does not even require a save after this operation - it autosaves - meaning that had I not had a backup I would have lost my entire Design Model.  Although unrelated to my actual problem, surely that autosave is a bug.

Surely there must be a way to export and import just the selected packages in the source model to the destination model?

cheers,
Ian

Bugs and Issues / Copy and paste between projects?

Hi,

A colleague and myself have been working on different copies of a Design Model in EA, and now wish to merge the two.  We're discovering that this is more difficult than we thought.  We're unable to copy and paste between the two diagrams.

If I have both projects open in different EA windows, I then "right click / copy" on my desired package in project 1, and go to the project 2.  I see that the two paste options (Paste objects as Link, Paste objects as New) are greyed out.  I could Paste as an Image from the Clipboard, but that's obviously not what we want.

If I open project 1 and do the copy, then within the same window open project 2, I see that the paste options are there, but when I select Paste as New, I get "Error: Pasting package elements as new not supported".

I must be doing something wrong - any ideas?

cheers,
Ian
