Ok, thanks for that Matthew. I should say that I am commencing
an ORM project myself using the Ruby language, and one of the
goals is to read files from NORMA - mainly because I have no
desire to build a diagramming tool. I want to build much of the
rest of the stack, including things you haven't done yet. But
suffice it to say that I've read ...

Yes, we need to do something here, but we haven't quite decided where to put the setting. The problem is that the correct value is dependent on the target DBMS, but we don't know what that DBMS is until the leaf transforms of the generation path are run (several steps after the names are determined). We could do something like a 'requested length' ...

We have a student working on documentation this quarter and should have some help (integrated into VS) by the end of the quarter. There are also some walkthroughs in file downloads that Kevin is updating as I type.
As for format changes, we'll be reworking data types and reference modes. The data types will be definable in the ORM model, ...

Cool, thanks for that. This is the kind of thing that would be good to have as a parameter to the model itself.

Unfortunately, the number is in three places now. We'll look at putting it back to one. Kevin has a couple of other tweaks he says he wants to make in this file.
1) Look for '= 30' (this the one you found)
2) Look for {0,29} (there will be two of these, change the upper bound)
That should take care of the issue. A VS restart will be needed to ...

Hi,
Additional note on SQL Server 2005 CREATE SCHEMA:
CREATE TABLE works fine within CREATE SCHEMA implied transaction. ALTER TABLE does not work (reference indicates it's not allowed). As altering a table that doesn't exist (if the table creation fails within the create schema transaction), doesn't leave any residue, that's fine. The ...

Of course, no problem. It'd be good if we could get a bigger community using NORMA,
as it would get more questions answered sooner with perhaps no net load on the
project members. I think the forum style is possibly the worst available however.
I maintain mailing ...

I changed MAX_IDENTIFIER_LENGTH in the javascript function makeValidIdentifier in
Common Files/DIL/Transforms/DILSupportFunctions.xslt without any effect. This
function uses various strategies to produce sane-length identifiers from a long
name, but changing the MAX_IDENTIFIER_LENGTH didn't seem to affect any of the
generated symbols.
I was ...

Yes, thanks Brian, I've svn'ed the whole source and had a few attempts to crawl through
bits of it. It wasn't clear to me that you got an answer to your question ''does attribute
absorption cause loss of information''. If you've read Terry's book (the ORM ''bible''),
you'll know it describes the Rmap algorithm and you'll understand what data ...

Hi,
Just found out something helpful (maybe well known, but I was unaware): You can select a number of object types (by draging a rectangle, or clicking with CNTL key), then assign properties for for all of the selected object types at once. It's a good way to assign a Data Type of say, (Text Variable, Length 50), to a whole set of objects. ...
