Hi,
is it possible to generate the SQL-create-table-statements from an UML-diagram or java-source-code? Using the create-schema-wizard only generates SQL-create-statements from an existing database with existing tables. I need it the otherway around, to model my class-diagram and than generate the needed tables. Is it possible and how to handle it?

Thanks in advance
SP

Hi,

You want to design your database tables from the object design.

Top down approach I guess.

There is no explicit tool plugged in our plugin, however through the XDoclet technology supported by our J2EE plugin I think you can do some work.

At the moment, you are right, our tool is more in a Bottom up approach.

However it depends the O/R Mapping technology you've choosen for your project.

XDoclet is known to support several mapping technologies (JDO, Hibernate, ...)

We can imagine a Class Diagram with stereotypes.

With the use of Java Tags we can do some XDoclet tranformation to get some mapping files.

This will change in a near future.

Regards.
