I'm converting 30 years of flat-file fixed-field data to Oracle 10g.
We have list of 450 data elements with basic characteristics like
datatype, length and description.

I'd like to populate an entity with these 450 attributes and then use
that entity to build my real entities.  I've entered about 30 of these
attributes using the GUI interface and don't look forward to doing the
rest.

Is there an easy way to build that base Data_Elements entity in the
freeware version of Toad?  Is this doable in the full version of Toad?

Thanks, Vaclav

I use MySQL 5.0

Hi!
Can't import a cyrillic comments of fields from database. I get a
question marks only. What I can do in this case?

Really only two major limits to the freeware - no reverse engineering and not
more than 25 entities or tables. It's a great tool for doing little one-off
projects or limited scope modeling efforts. If you need more (say more than 25
entities) - then it's time to consider purchasing the commerical version - which
is very reasonably priced. It comes with one years maintenance - which includes
all upgrades being free and live support (can call and talk to a person, not
just email support).

This might not be the right forum for this, but just in case...

I am currently using Case Studio (2.23), but could use The Toad Data
Modeler if necessary.

Have not been able to Reverse Engineer SQL 2005 Views (not the
tables), regardless of the provider or connection string I use.

We need to create ERD's based on the SQL 2005 Views as well as create
the relationships in the ERD.

Can Case Studio or Toad... do this, and if so how?

Thanks!

Hi,

Does any know if it is possible to have submodels in the freeware
version of Toad Data Modeler?  I can't seem to get it to work, so I'm
assuming it's not available.

Thanks,

Hello Joe and Bert,

Thanks for all the information, it helped us a lot. Here I'm with
possible solution to the trouble.

The problem points to the line:
var CheckList = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

It seems that the TDM is not able to create the scripting object
Dictionary. The Scripting::Dictionary object is an object that is
part of the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library (scrrun.dll). So
this trouble can occur e.g. if Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library
is missing or is not registrated on your computer or if its
registration is wrong, or if the library version is old.

Please try to use the following command that should registrate the
scrrun.dll library on your computer:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

You can execute this command via Start > Run. Then press Enter.

If the registration is finished successfully, please restart Windows
OS and try the reverse engineering feature in TDM once again.

If the registration fails or if you have an older version of the
scrrun.dll library on your computer or don't have it at all, please
download and install the latest Scripting update from Microsoft site
via the links below:

* For Windows XP and Windows 2000:

I see what you mean. Earlier, only checkboxes were available, but some

select
multiple tables using CTRL or SHIFT and then please right click the

Hi Vaclav,

I've been testing further and I think there is a confusion (on my part
probably) :

The A button has a hint 'Select all' - this is fine and always works.
The D buttons's hint is 'Delete selection' - I think it should be
'Unselect all' as this is what it does.
The I button's hint is fine. (Invert selection)

However, the list box also allows entries to be highlighted using
click, shift+click and CTRL+click in the normal manner. My problem is
that having done a bit of development work, this indicates a selection
to me. I was assuming the I button would invert the selection and the D
button would remove the selected entries from the listbox - as per it's
current hint which is 'Delete selection'.

It's slightly confusing to have both a check option and a selection - I
think that the selection (highlighting of entries) should be removed and
only the checkboxes be allowed.

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]

Afternoon all,

When reverse engineering, I get a list of tables. I don't want to
include all of them, so I select a number and click the 'D' button to
delete seletion. It simply clears the ticks from all the tables (in
otherwords unselect all).

The 'I' button has a similar effect - it doesn't invert the selection,
but unselects everything.

The 'A' button is fine and does indeed 'select all'.

Hi,

thanks for your suggestions! To your wishlist items:
- The integration with Toad is being planned.
- Toad Data Modeler (TDM) allows you to reverse engineer a database
structure with hundreds of tables and there is also an "autolayout"
feature (Click Model->Layout->Autolayout), which can help you to re-
arrange your entity-relationship diagram objects with respect
dependencies. You can also add parts of your model into submodels
and save your layout (Model->Layout->Save). If you reverse engineer
your database structure again, you can load your previously saved
layout and also submodels will be loaded. This may help you to keep
your model clear. Note: all reverse engineering features are
available in the commercial version, not the freeware version of TDM.

Regards,

Vaclav

Mine is for a tool that can reverse engineer a database with hundreds
of tables, and still do a grand job of 'auto arrange'. However, I feel
that  this is beyond most software on the market - except, perhaps,
some of those extremely expensive circuit board designers that cost
thousands of pounds every 6 months or so :o(

First post!!!

My Wish List for CASE--erm, Toad Data Modeler-- starts with good
integration between TDM and the traditional Toad, so I will no longer
have to write my schema code in Toad, paste them into TDM's Text
Objects, have TDM generate the schema, then paste that text back into
Toad for creation.

Short and sweet and to-the point.  Thanks!
