I had messed with Visio initially and then opted to do it in SQL management system, but I ended up not doing the graphical at all, since it wasn't as part of the tool to work with.<br><br>I'll just wait for the SF team to give us something!Fri, 01 Jun 2007 11:18:38 GMTBen HayatRE: What's the best way to view relationships in DDThttp://forum.strataframe.net/Topic8657-11-1.aspx[quote]It would be nice if DDT provided a graphical view but I doubt it would be worth the programming effort when you can easily use something like Visio.[/quote]<P>Actually this is on the list for enhancements. I agree that this would be very nice, so it will make it in there in future releases :) Triggers will also be included in future releases as well for those who are curious what else is coming in this product.Fri, 01 Jun 2007 10:22:25 GMTTrent L. TaylorRE: What's the best way to view relationships in DDThttp://forum.strataframe.net/Topic8657-11-1.aspxHi Ben,</P><P>I find it helpful to have a graphical representation of the database when I'm coding and I also like DDT for deploying and updating so I've taken the following approach. I do my initial design using Visio Professional and once I'm happy with it I have Visio create a development database and import that into DDT. In DDT I add the description to each field. From there if I have to make any modifications to the DB, I make them in DDT, redeploy to the development DB and have Visio update the model from the updated DB. It would be nice if DDT provided a graphical view but I doubt it would be worth the programming effort when you can easily use something like Visio.</P><P>-LarryFri, 01 Jun 2007 10:06:35 GMTLarry CaylorWhat's the best way to view relationships in DDThttp://forum.strataframe.net/Topic8657-11-1.aspxWhat's the recommended way to view all the relationships[u] [b]"Graphically"[/b][/u] in DDT, before it has been deployed to development machine?<br><br>I'm building all of my tables and relationships, and I like to view them from a macro vision to ensure they are correct?<br><br>Thanks!Wed, 02 May 2007 11:17:05 GMTBen Hayat
