Before I decided on moving forward with web2py for prototyping my current project, I built a complicated, visually appealing entity relationship diagram in MySQL Workbench. I like having this ERD to keep my brain straight, but I'm wondering how to keep using this as I move forward with web2py.
It looks like the initial transformation of the ERD will have to be scripted from a create table dump in order to get it into DAL syntax. That's not _too_ bad, but my concern is what to do after that? I expect my schema is going to change a bit over time, and making mods with Workbench, dumping create statements and running a script to create new model files seems a bit clunky. Is that my only option? Does anyone else use a visual ERD tool with web2py or have any suggestions for how I can manage this more elegantly? I don't think the online designer will help, because I would have to modify the XML exports to keep track of DAL specific types (like 'upload'), as well as constraints. Thanks in advance for any tips. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group. To post to this group, send email to web...@googlegroups.com.
