Post #201,796 by tuberculosis 4/4/05 1:11:03 AM 4/4/05 1:14:42 AM Reply	I wrote my own Its in java - therefore the UI sucks. I made it as good as I could without obsessing over it. And it only works with postgres. I outputs EOModel files which are useful with webobjects and GLORP. It saves me a lot of time though. Cayenne comes with a modeling tool too - both of these tools are designed to allow ORM, but the models they produce tends to be useful for other things - it captures both the logical and physical database design for instance.

Post #201,908 by tuberculosis 4/4/05 10:48:17 PM Reply	Same old same old You end up capturing the same information - only capturing it in an Object-Relational Meta Model gets you one more level of detail and allows you to automate a bunch of code such as schema definition language and object mapping code. In my extension to GLORP library, I automatically reshape the existing classes everytime a meta model (and database connection) is opened if it detects changes. The difference is that using the visio toy, you just end up with pictures and files. You'll still be stuck writing all the software.

UML's good for docs - (jake123) - (2) - April 2, 2005, 02:43:31 PM EST

UML is good at showing you where you screwed up - (Arkadiy) - (1) - April 4, 2005, 11:50:29 AM EDT

I can see how that goes - (jake123) - April 4, 2005, 04:43:52 PM EDT

I'm not sure - (jake123) - April 1, 2005, 06:20:22 PM EST
