SQL preview is not working for references
Actually it was working before new year and now is broken.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Add 2 tables
2) Add reference between then
3) Select reference
4) Press "SQL Preview" button.
Result:
Empty preview (no SQL code except for comments).
"Type not supported" error for the default varchar in Postgres. Why?
In developing an ER diagram for Postgres, I always get "type not supported" error for the default varchar. If I don't change anything, it warns me about % sign, if I leave the () blank then I get a warning, which is better than an error, but this isn't great.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
willie
I believe the behavior is correct. Let's go through all the cases you described.
First of all, the default varchar (that is one without lenght) has syntax: "varchar" or "character varying". You can write it this way in "Type" field and you get no error:
tests=> CREATE TABLE def_varchar ( tests(> id int NOT NULL, tests(> code varchar NOT NULL, tests(> CONSTRAINT def_varchar_pk PRIMARY KEY (id) tests(> ); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "def_varchar_pk" for table "def_varchar" CREATE TABLE
Then, if you try either "varchar()" or "varchar(%)", both Vertabelo and PostgreSQL will raise an error:
tests=> CREATE TABLE def_varchar (
tests(> id int NOT NULL,
tests(> code varchar() NOT NULL,
tests(> CONSTRAINT def_varchar_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
tests(> );
ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"
LINE 3: code varchar() NOT NULL,
^
tests=> CREATE TABLE def_varchar (
tests(> id int NOT NULL,
tests(> code varchar(%) NOT NULL,
tests(> CONSTRAINT def_varchar_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
tests(> );
ERROR: syntax error at or near "%"
LINE 3: code varchar(%) NOT NULL,
^Please note that the list of data types is only a helper to choose the most common ones. You can provide any text you want into the "Type" field. Vertabelo either warns you or raises an error if it doesn't recognize the type, but you can ignore it if you like.
Hope this helps.
Notes sizing and re-sizing
Selective Table SQL generation
Calculated Fields
Vertabelo is great but it's missing Computed Columns feature, at least in SQL Server projects.
So Calculated Columns are created like this (Inventory), and I really think that implementing this feature for you is not a big trouble.
CREATE TABLE dbo.Products
(
ProductID int IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL
, QtyAvailable smallint
, UnitPrice money
, InventoryValue AS QtyAvailable * UnitPrice
);

Modify Database
Once I generate SQL and create my database, is it possible to generate "modification" sql, which might involve saving old data and re-inserting in new tables?
Your file is not valid with our XSD
I get this error message while I try to add my old xml doc. I made it with vertabelo in 2015
Hello,
Please send your XML file to our email address: contact@vertabelo.com

If auto-logged out, please make it so logging back it will take me directly back to the project I was working on
Currently, if my computer goes to sleep or I'm otherwise auto logged off, I'm required to log back in and navigate back to the project I was working on. I would be great if logging back in would take me directly there (or better yet, don't auto log me off and allow me to just reconnect and pickup where I left off)
change user name and email id
I want to chane the user name and emil ID of sachin@rawalinfocom.com to cto@rawalinfocom.com
Is there a way to simply duplicate a diagram?
I just want to create a separate iteration for a phase of my database diagram. Is there a way I can literally just copy it without exporting sql and reverse engineering the import?
Yes, you can do this with 3 clicks. Just go to "Documents", then right-click on the model you want to duplicate and choose "Make a copy" option.
Another way to do the same is to select the model as before and click on "copy" icon on the top bar.
