Artificial primary keys in many-to-many relationships
Checking your article "A Dating App Data Model" I saw that in relations that appear from a many-to-many relationship (for instance between relations "user_account" and "gender") you add an artificial primary key (in the case exposed, primary key is a numeric field "id" but the primary key should be the combination of "user_account_id" and "gender_id").
Is there a technical reason to do that?

Support for Memsql DB
Is there any plan to provide support for MemSQL in near future?

Hello Deepak,
We have no dedicated support for MemSQL DB, but this database is wire-compatible with MySQL. I'm guessing then that maybe MySQL DDL script will work. However, I haven't tested it, so treat this only as a clue.
We will definitely investigate this further.
Regards,
Luke

Diagram User Interface Improvements
I have been using Vertabelo for several months now, and have a few suggestions for improving the diagram interface:
- Allow the diagram canvas to be resized - When I reverse engineered my data model, many tables were imported outside the canvas area and were hard to bring in (I had to zoom in, go to the canvas edge, then zoom out in order to see them). Once organized, the model is smaller than the canvas area, so I would like to decrease it for zoom and printing ease.
- Increase the zoom out maximum from 25% - It is hard to navigate throughout the diagram since the screen cannot zoom out to display it in its entirety. This is especially problematic since the display area doesn't scroll when moving objects.
- Enable automatic scroll when moving objects - When an object is dragged to the edge of the display area, the display area should shift so the object can continue to move. As it is, the user has to click and drag an object to the edge of the display, click the model to move the display area, and repeat as needed.
- Increase size of Area resize selection box - Areas can be resized by clicking and dragging the corner box. The corner box size is too small reliably click when zoomed out, which makes it difficult to resize on larger scales.

Pasting in column name field should paste text and not insert the diagram element.
Current behavior: When pasting text in column name field diagram element is inserted.
Expected behavior: When pasting text in column name field text from clipboard should be inserted in the field.

[Postgresql] Will Vertabelo be updating to newer versions?
Just wondering if you'll be updating scheme creation with 10.x and 11.x features in the future.
Specifically I'd like to create auto-incrementing identity fields.
For example...
id int GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY
But they aren't a part of the postgresql version currently available in Vertabelo.

Put sequence generation on the top of the generated SQL script instead of bottom
Generated SQL scripts usually creates tables before sequences. For this reason model deployment fails due to the missing references in case of PostgreSQL.

reference types
The example shows this (right) type of reference, but I can only find how to change 1 side of a reference and the other side will always be the one you see on the left here.
How do you change the other half of a reference?
