The ORM Foundation

Hi folks, Been a while since I played around with ORM, but I am working on a simple model to generate to SQL Server. Bear in mind I am relatively inexperienced with both NORMA and SQL Server. When I generate SQL Server code, I noticed that all of my tables get generated with the schema name as a prefix, e.g. "Database.Table". When I ...

Is there a way to hide the display of reference modes on the ORM diagrams? That is, if I have an entity called "EmployeeNumber" with a ref mode of (.Id), can I have the entity display simply as "EmployeeNumber" and not "EmployeeNumber (.Id)"? Thanks! Steve

Is there a way to add more data types (like "Boolean") to the data types available in custom properties?

Also, can you explain what this means, and how I would take advantage of it?  "Added custom property support to the ORM Model element."

Is there a code shortcut I can use to just type in the url to my image so that it displays in-line in my post? I'd rather do that than attach the files... Thanks! Steve

First, as a point of order, if I have an actual MODELING question, as compared to a SOFTWARE question, should I be posting it here, or in another forum? Second, I'd like some advice with an equality constraint. I've read through the big brown book on this topic, but really am struggling with this. In the attached diagram, I have a ...
