Your feedback is highly appreciated! Let's make Vertabelo even better.
Reverse Engineering Download - I cannot install "reverse-engineering-1_6_7.jar"
I could not install this add-in. I doubled-clicked the file and nothing happens. Then I installed Java's "server-jre-8u66-windows-x64.gz" and I installed chromeinstall-8u65.exe. I've changed Windows file associations to point to the .jar file type to javaw.exe. I tried running javaw.exe from the cmd prompt. These approaches did not work. I read the Reverse Engineering documentation on your websiste. I frankly have not grocked it. It seems there is very little content there relevant to this issue. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I really want your product to work...so far, it looks like it will meet my needs very well.

Allow for "align-locking" objects vertically or horizontally to other objects when dragging
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
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
Dzień dobry
- get reverse-engineering-1_6_9.jar
- oracle 11.2.0.4.0
- 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
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.
