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

I seem to have trouble getting DBD4 to create ActiveRecord-compatible DDL statements. I have a database with a series of 1:n relationships which should be easy to model. But, depending on the relationship type I use, when I connect them in the ERD it either: 1) starts cascading foreign keys like an avalanche, or 2) fails to add ''contraint fk_xxx foreign key (yyy) references

Hello all, I am curious about what tools you guys use to make your databases. I know David uses CocoaMySQL. Are there other tools for other platforms and for other databases? I''m not very good with the SQL language, so I would like being able to do all my database setup with an easy-to-use tool (defining tables, fields, primary keys, foreign keys, indexes, etc.) Big kisses, Vincent.

Did I see some code posted here that would create a graphical representation of a database relationships using the graphviz utilities? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
