Hi,

Usually, we have more than 100 tables. To create each of them, it would take 3000 secs = 50 hours to do it.

Also, I would think auto-create BO, default value, required fields would also save us alot of time.

Thank you

I appreciate your point, Chan.  First, we are all for as much automation and speed as possible and this is something that has already been discussed for future SF releases (possiblly next major release 2.0).  However, StrataFrame allows you to setup relationships between BOs that does not exist within the SQL structures.  There needs to be a very integrated and customizable BO creation tool that ties into VS and gives the developer the most control as possible.  Automation generally takes more control away from the developer, so before we implement something like this, there is a lot of foundational work that needs to be done to allow developers the same type of flexibilty that currently exists which still achieving the benefits of automation.  So rest assured that there will continue to be more automation features implemented into SF, but this particular feature will not be feasible until the next major release of SF.

Hi,

Thank you for your clarification.

May I know when would SF 2.0 live, quarter 4th or next year? :p

Thank you

We do not have a firm release date for 2.0.  It will be after Orcas has been released.  As always, we will keep our users informed of things to come.

Just as a side note, I do not understand why it takes so long for you to create your business objects.  I understand that logic and Fill methods may grow over time, but our most complex BO within our medical software did not take 50 minutes (3000 seconds) to create.  In fact, the average BO only takes 5 minutes or less to create, setup custom Fill or Scalar methods, and add the business checking logic. 

Hi,

I usually take 30-50 secs to setup one BO. However, there are at least 120 BOs to be created for now.

I understand, but generally speaking you don't use all 120 at once.  We have more than that in our medical system, but we don't use them all at once.  It would be a rare circumstance that all 120+ BOs are used within the same forms or dialogs.  So this should be one of those things that is drawn out over the duration of your application development.
