General Board / CVS version control on Linux

« on: June 14, 2006, 12:35:21 am »

Hello,

I am using EA version 6.1.788 under Linux OS with CX Office 5.0.1. During the CVS setup on my client I encountered following problem:

I created a module on the CVS server (running Linux too) and checked out local copy just as Setting Up Version Control white paper says. Then in EA I opened a project, selected the model I wanted to put under version control and opened the "Version Control Configurations" dialog from menu Project->Version Control->Set Version Control Options ... I created a new configuration according to my environment and tried to save it by the button "Save". I received following error:

Error while initializing version control provider:

CVS reports following error:

c:\windows\cvsabb3.bat "C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe" version

In process list I can see this process:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine-preloader /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine-pthread C:\Windows\System\wcmd.exe /c c:\windows\cvsabb3.bat C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe version

C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe exists and works fine when run from command line. The same result I got with the CVSNT and even with native Linux cvs.

C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1976 (client)

C:\CVSNT\cvs95.exe version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2354 (client)

Any ideas? Is version control supported on Linux platform?

General Board / MySQL ENUM type

« on: March 21, 2006, 01:28:07 am »

Hello,

I have found that MySQL ENUM type is supported within the data modeling since EA 4.50 Build 740 according to ea_history.html:

Added support for MySQL ENUM and SET datatypes for generating DDL.

Unfortunately I am not able to find a way how to create ENUM column in a table. The default set of MySQL column types does not contain ENUM type. So I had to add it using the Database Datatypes dialog. After doing this I could select the ENUM type for a column in the column properties dialog, but I do not know how to define possible ENUM values.

With a "plain" ENUM definition EA generates DDL in the form:

CREATE TABLE sometable (
...
some_column ENUM NOT NULL,
...
) ;

But I would like to get something like:

CREATE TABLE sometable (
...
some_column ENUM('val1', 'val2', ...,'valN') NOT NULL,
...
) ;

Any suggestions? I am using EA 6.1.788 on the Linux OS.
