The Fast Forward Button

October 14th, 2009

Helping you to create a nice entity-relationship diagram for your application model is our job. But it wouldn’t be so nice if it took you too many clicks to generate SQL CREATE and ALTER statements (aka Forward Engineering).

In the past, the only way to do that would be clicking on the Version Manager tab, then right-clicking on a version, then, and then and then…

Not anymore!

Introduce the Generate SQL speed button on the menu bar. Click on it to select whether you want CREATE statements or ALTER statements.

CREATE Statements

You can generate CREATE statements based on your current work or any previous version of work. SB will also ask you to commit your work into version manager if you choose to use your current work for the script, so that you can always retrieve the corresponding diagram of any scripts you run on your database.

ALTER Statements

First, you will choose what version of  work you want to migrate your database to.

gen-sql-alter-1-small

Then, choose the version your database is running at currently:

gen-sql-alter-2-small

Go go go, go try it fast!
