Rails - Jan 2006 - DBDesigner4 to AR model (script)

Hi list, 

I have hacked together a small script to generate an ActiveRecord model 
from a DBDesigner 4 (fabForce.net) model file. Take it apart and feed it to 
the pigs ;). 

the article: 
http://tua.ch/ruby/current.html

and the script: 
http://tua.ch/ruby/dbmodel/compute_model.rb

best of whishes for the new year, 
kaspar
code manufacture & ruby lab at http://www.tua.ch/ruby

Thank you!! This saves me a couple weeks of work!! Any chance of the 
reverse -- ActiveRecord to DBDesigner4?

Hi,
My twopennyworth here - a vote for AR2DBD4. With the project I''m 
currently working on I started with a BUFD in DB4 and found the script 
to generate models from that really useful (although I''m not sure it
was
the script mentioned here). Since then I''ve dumped that design and am 
working exclusively with models. So it would be nice to have a script 
that generated the DBDesigner4 XML so that one could view the overall 
schema now and then
Cheers,
Eric.
