Updating DB model (walk through)
« on: October 05, 2018, 12:24:19 am »
A week ago I promised to provide a guide through experienced EA issues. Issues which I found during last year (since EA13.5 provided better support for modeling relational databases)

My experience is based on work with Postgresql. It's possible that listed issues are database specific (some of them definitively are).
Below, you find a link do PDF document, which contain the guide, description of automation scripts (also provided below in zip archive) as well as list of issues reported to Sparx. Unfortunately Sparx officially say that they cannot guarantee any date of solving those issues. Even if some of them are trivial (ie small change to SQL being sent to source database). Be it.

I hope it will help to all of you who is committed to maintain your db documentation in EA.

This is excellent. Thanks.  Please formally submit it to Sparx as a feature request in addition to all the bug reports you have made - good work.

I confirm that. Not my main work area but you should write a FR linking to this thread.

(Well, don't hold your breath, though. I once had a private bug list which depressed me more and more since I never saw it grow less over may years. Pretty sure that it still contains numerous bugs still unfixed.)

q.

P.S. I was curious: https://app.assembla.com/spaces/enterprise-architect/tickets/realtime_list but I did not check for errors being corrected.
