Where are model and user default diagrams stored

[Knut Paulsen]

I had a discussion with Geert about this some time ago, but can't find it now :-)

Anyway, if you are interested the GUID of the Model Default Diagram is stored in the database table 'usys_system' under property name 'Default Diagram', and the GUID of the User Default Diagram is stored in the database table 't_xref' with Name 'Default Diagram', Type 'User Setting', Client is the GUID of the user (from table 't_secusers') and Supplier is the GUID of the default diagram.

Cheers

For completeness, if you create an EA shortcut from the File menu, you can specify one or more diagrams to be opened when that shortcut is used.

A shortcut can also do a few other things, so if someone stumbles onto this post wondering about weird things going on when opening a project, the shortcut file is worth a look.

This has helped me out today. So just for the fun of it, a little query I created based on this info to retrieve the list of User Default diagrams in the project:

Code: [Select]

select d.ea_guid as CLASSGUID, 'Diagram' as CLASSTYPE, d.Name as [Default_Diagram_Name], d.Author as [Diagram_Author], u.Surname, u.FirstName, u.UserLogin
from t_xref x, t_secuser u, t_diagram d
where x.Name = 'Default Diagram'
and u.UserID = x.Client
and d.ea_guid = x.Supplier
order by u.Surname
