SQL Related Articles: Dezign database development tool 2004-03-30 -- Johan Van Zyl Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion From firebird-support@yahoogroups.com At this point I will state my opinion as well. I would strongly recommend that you move to using a tool for designing and building databases. For instance we use a tool called Dezign for Databases: http://www.datanamic.com That not only allows you to model the database structure but also to create the DDL scripts to create the database and/or drop it. In my 8 years as a senior database developer, team leader and database architect with Oracle and Interbase and Firebird I have learnt the hard way. For teams of one person or more :) you will need it at some point. Otherwise you WILL lose some of your precious life finding out how the database is put together, where that mystery constraint is and why it is there. If you aren't in charge of the project then just volunteer to draw up a database design for documentation purposes, managers will rarely refuse that offer, in my experience as they all know that they should have one. If this doesn't apply to you because you have already got your database documented then *good for you* but it applies to everyone reading this post that hasn't! Carl Any Comments? - similar products?
