The ORM Foundation

Development trends do change an awful lot. I wouldn't mind supporting a kick starter to keep this thing funded. 

 Hi Marc, As far as reverse engineer I have tried this in Sql 2012 and it works well - I believe its called db import it memory serves and I believe that is what you are asking for hopefully.  However it will only convert tables and well formed table relationships over and will not even look at views, functions or stored procedures ...

 Hi Ken, Ken>So one solution is to save the model before you add another page and then save the new model with a different name - a crude "versioning" method.  Yes that is what I'm doing now.  I'm using it in an Oracle 11g and 12c environment right now and a single SCHEMA can really have ton ...

Hi, Not sure what the procedure is for requesting a new feature. So here goes: Is it possible to create a new file when selecting a page - maybe make it an option.  The main reason is because sometimes the main model doesn't need to change, but adding to a page may require lots of small changes.  That way it ...

I noticed in vs2010 orm dbimport  it changes the value type to decimal(38,38) by default from an import for ints, money, decimal.   Seems like if its a number it just makes this a default type.  Is there a way to make it use the exisitng type during a data import?  Also text gets converted to nvarchar ...

Hi Matt,  Thanks for the info.  Yes I definitely am interested in testing out an intermediate build.  I wished the orm model would say dupe so I'd know which entity or fact was causing the problem (like two red lines instead of just one).  I'm trying to build the model after connecting everything up in the ...

I sent an email with more details.  But I think the problem has to do with either the underscores for field names like "_Namepart1_Namepart2" or fields that have the same name. Either that or there is some kind of reference where two object reference each other and it turns into infinite loop as the program builds a list of ...

I have an error IComparer.Compare() method and looking for fixed:  Occurs after I added sql ER Extensions. --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Cannot save 'C:\file\OrmImport.orm': Unable to sort because the IComparer.Compare() method returns inconsistent results. Either a value does not ...

Thanks for the info and for establishing what's possible with the orm tool.  I've been fighting with various schemas and trying to find a simple way to add a simple foreign key constraint between schemas.  For me it would be nice if I could just have two orm windows open and add a fact type between the two orm windows between two ...

Matt, I'm probably oversimplifying the problem but would it be possible to create the SchemaName custom property for each enity like Schema and create a SDIL like a schema intermediate file that has just  list of Schema Names, their associated table names, and the current Name of the model that the overall schema falls ...
