General Board / Re: Import oracle number column default precision

« on: January 10, 2007, 07:49:49 am »

I noticed that build 800 had the following change log entry:

"Improved import of Oracle NUMBER datatype to distinguish between NUMBER, NUMBER(50), NUMBER(10,2) types."

So I tried downloading the latest build (802) to see if it helped my problem, but it doesn't (NUMBER type still imported with default precision of 15, and I still can't find a way to change this behavior).

Is a there a way to find out the details of the bug that this change log entry fixed?

General Board / Import oracle number column default precision

« on: October 05, 2006, 12:41:53 pm »

I am trying to import an Oracle 9i schema where one of the tables has a column of type NUMBER with no precision specified.

Code: [Select]


create table TEST (
  MY_NUM_COL NUMBER
);


The problem is that when I import this table, the number column in question is always imported with the precision defaulted to 15.

Is there a way to change this default behavior? (i.e., have it default to 38)

I noticed that in "Settings"->"Database Datatypes", you can select "Oracle" as a product, and it has the "default" for NUMBER set to (8,2), but this seems to only work as the default when creating a new table via EA.

Thanks,
Christopher Pierce

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: big problem with connection for Eclipse

« on: June 18, 2005, 08:12:37 am »

I was having the same problem using EA 5.0 and Eclipse 3.0.2.

Basically, I did what the readme.txt said and just droped the jar file in the eclipse plugin directory, but eclipse wasn't loading it, therefore EA couldn't connect to it.

What I did was create an Eclipse extension point and put the plugin there.
Under the "C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\MDG Link" (you could really put it anywhere), I created the following directory structure:

eclipse_extension/
eclipse_extension/eclipse/
eclipse_extension/eclipse/plugins/

in this "eclipse" directory,  I created a file called ".eclipseextension", and put the following lines in it:

name=Sparx MDG Eclipse Link
id=org.sparx.mdg
version=1.0.19

I then placed the org.sparx.mdg.eclipse_1.0.19.jar file into this plugins directory.

Next, I started Eclipse, and from the menu, I when to
Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration...

I clicked the "Add an Extension Location" link, and selected the "eclipse_extension" directory I just created.

Eclipse rebooted, and at that point, everything worked.
