General Board / Re: Database not defined

« on: September 13, 2010, 03:43:11 pm »

In fairness, it's not entirely stupid to expect this to work.  If you generate plain vanilla DDL it should work with most databases supported or not and at the very least it does a lot of the typing and just needs a little bit of Search & replace massaging to make it work.

I right clicked on a table in my model did export DDL & got a nice helpful dialog giving me options which then generated a nice script.  All seemed to work fine.  I've not used SQLite, I have got an Oracle ODBC driver installed but I'm pretty sure it wasn't being used.

Now the table I generated the DDL from was reverse engineered from Oracle & on the table properties page (right click on the table & select "Properties") the Database set was Oracle so I think that could be your problem.  Select one of the database types & experiment to see which supported database is closest in syntax to SQLite.

Good Luck
Mike

Thanks Geert - that's exactly what I'm looking for.

General Board / Custom Association

« on: September 09, 2010, 11:10:18 am »

Forgive me if this is an easy thing because I'm new here.  I've looked in the help, fiddled with all the menus that look reasonable & done a search on the forum.

What I want to do is this:

I am creating a lot of associations on a class diagram.  For reasons of clarity I am using custom stereotypes and colour to distinguish them.  so, I have three different types of association that I am using all of the time.  At the moment I have to drag between classes, open up the properties, set the arrow type & stereotype then OK that & change the colour which is a pain.  Is there any way of creating a custom association in the toolbox for this project (or even better globally) where I can set these properties up & just select the right association & drag between classes.  I've seen the scripting examples but that looks like overkill, all I want is a standard association with the Direction, Stereotype & Line colour preset.
