Allow for "align-locking" objects vertically or horizontally to other objects when dragging

Lukas Eder 9 years ago updated 9 years ago 3

When I drag an object, I often want to align it vertically / horizontally with other objects. MS Powerpoint, for instance, is smart enough to discover that intent, and it displays a red line to visualize the fact that I'm about to vertically / horizontally align this object with another one.


This is obviously a completely opt-in feature, and it is active only in the vicinity of around 5 pixels with the other object (and it can be avoided by pressing shift or alt, I believe).

Multi-selecting objects should allow for multi-resizing

Lukas Eder 9 years ago updated by Rafał Strzaliński (Senior Engineer) 9 years ago 1

When I select several tables, I expect them to resize all at the same time when I click on the corners of one table and resize that one.


I'm not 100% sure about the UX of such a feature, but I would definitely find the workflow "select all -> resize" an intuitive workflow for resizing several objects.


The use-case behind this is to make all tables the same size and vertically / horizontally aligned.

​​reverse engineering fails if any function-based index exists

Ilya Kharlamov 9 years ago updated by anonymous 9 years ago 2

Dzień dobry

  1. get reverse-engineering-1_6_9.jar
  2. oracle 11.2.0.4.0
  3. create a table that uses fbi (a function based index)


create table

AAA

(

x number

);

create index aaa_idx1 on AAA(upper(x));


4. call the reverse-engineering-tool

Exception in thread "main" com.vertabelo.reverse.nr: Column SYS_NC00002$ not found in AAA

at com.vertabelo.reverse.ns.a(:1413)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.ns.a(:1392)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.ny.a(:317)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.ns.b(:550)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.ns.c(:412)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.ns.b(:185)
at com.vertabelo.reverse.Main.main(:491)


Solution:

You use in your code


paramDatabaseMetaData.getString("COLUMN_NAME");


but you'll need to check if this column really exists via DatabaseMetaData.getColumns before doing that

Unfortunately, Vertabelo doesn't support this construction now - indexes may have only columns from the table. We have this feature on our roadmap, but it's not available yet.


I've fixed the problem in the reverse-engineering tool so that such indexes were ignored and listed at the end of the reverse-engineering operation. Here is a link to the JAR with this issue fixed: reverse-engineering-1_6_10.jar
Please, check if it works well now.


Regarding indexes with expressions, I'd suggest placing them manually in the "Additional SQL scripts" section in table properties. This way, they'll be present in the output SQL script.


I look forward to your feedback.

How do I place a table in a subject area by editing the xml from the reverse engineering tool

Jason Ethridge 9 years ago updated by Jarosław Błąd (CEO) 9 years ago 3
I have a large database that I would like to pre-group via subject areas before I import the xml into Vertabelo. Is it possible to hand edit the reverse engineer xml to add several subject areas and then associate tables with those subject areas?

Copy relationships along with table shortcut

Kent Graziano 9 years ago updated by Jack Polkowski 9 years ago 5
When I do a copy and past shortcut for multiple tables that are related, it should automatically show the relationships between those tables. Now it looks like I must create a 2nd relationship between the shortcut tables.
