Suggestions and Requests / Re: Pseudo data type support for databases

« on: April 25, 2007, 04:47:13 pm »

I have a similar problem.  I'm using EA to maintain a consistent data model between a relational database and XML files.  There is no way (that I can see) to convert the data types in my UML class diagram into database types when transforming to DDL, and into schema types when transforming to XSD.  A feature would be great, but I would also appreciate a workaround.  I can search/replace to fix the auto-generated DDL, but the XSD Code Generator just converts anything unrecognized to "xs:string" which means I have to go back and manually update all the data types.  

Thanks,
Kirk

Suggestions and Requests / Ability to control schema generation

« on: April 25, 2007, 04:56:50 pm »

I'm using XML schema with annotations (MS AXSD) to integrate with a relational database (yeah, SQL Server).  I can't add those annotations (which indicate which tables and keys are related to which XML elements) in EA directly (as far as I know); I have to add them to the schema post-generation.  I would happily tweak the XSD code generator if EA gave me that ability.

Thanks,
Kirk
