SQL Related Articles: Dezign database development tool 2004-03-30 -- Johan Van Zyl Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion
From firebird-support@yahoogroups.com
At this point I will state my opinion as well. I would strongly recommend
that you move to using a tool for designing and building databases.
For instance we use a tool called Dezign for Databases:
http://www.datanamic.com
That not only allows you to model the database structure but also to
create the DDL scripts to create the database and/or drop it.
In my 8 years as a senior database developer, team leader and database
architect with Oracle and Interbase and Firebird I have learnt the
hard way.
For teams of one person or more :) you will need it at some point.
Otherwise you WILL lose some of your precious life finding out how the
database is put together, where that mystery constraint is and why it is
there. If you aren't in charge of the project then just volunteer to draw
up a database design for documentation purposes, managers will rarely refuse
that offer, in my experience as they all know that they should have one.
If this doesn't apply to you because you have already got your database
documented then *good for you* but it applies to everyone reading this
post that hasn't!
