Two people actively trying to get bugs solved for them, both of which seem to've worked their way to resolution. One person trying to add a large feature set to tedia2sql (Class inheritance). Also a proposed large feature set which I'm still unsure how to handle, involving using special RDBMS constructs like CASCADE. Just a reminder to the lists, tedia2sql is still under development and currently stable. Main web page (http://tedia2sql.tigris.org) was updated to require Dia 0.90 because there's a problem with UML Components under 0.88.1. > About your changes to Dia to show more connect dots, > could those be merged in main Dia version? I've submitted two patches to the maintainers and, as far as I'm aware, the first was accepted but the second, which I feel is technically superior & which replaces the first patch, has not. In any case, current Dia CVS has an ability to use more connection points on the top & bottom... IF YOU RECOMPILE DIA FROM SOURCE. I've... begged?... the Dia maintainers to make more connection points on UML classes the standard behaviour and submitted the second patch to make sure this wouldn't harm legacy users of Dia. Getting more connection points is a FAQ, so I figure it can't be only me that wants it. The general consensus seems to be Dia will continue to have "8" connection points UNLESS YOU RECOMPILE. -- Tim Ellis Senior Database Architect Author, tedia2sql (http://tedia2sql.tigris.org)

Ask the Dia developers and PostgreSQL developers if they can accept donations. If they can't, I'd certainly like to know FSF or EFF have gotten a donation on my behalf. It's been a while since I donated to EFF... :( Also, Red Cross always seems a good place to send some cash. Especially in light of flooding in Austria and other natural disasters that always seem to take place. I had family affected by the nasty earthquakes in Taiwan a few years back, and Red Cross helped them out. And I guess I should be crystal clear: I don't want donations made in my name, I just want to know donations were made in lieu of sending cash to me. -- Tim Ellis Senior Database Architect Gamet, Inc.
> Great! I've had about five reports of tedia2sql > working. I don't know if you realise :), but tedia2sql is critical for anybody doing professional db modelling using Dia. At work, although our servers are on gnu/linux, I had to use a windows workstation and Visio ( which was paid for ) to make physical models of databases. Why? Because Visio can generate sql from that (and also differential sql when you update the diagram) and can also 'reverse-engineer' existing databases. (however, generated sql must be corrected by hand as it has bugs). We can't afford making a diagram and then write by hand the sql to create that database ( because of time and human errors ). Again, thanks for tedia2sql! After having it in production ( still a long time until them, as first I have to migrate an application from sybase to pgsql, I finally convinced my boss to do it) I'm sure my boss would donate some cash to dia+tedia2sql as a Visio replacement.

Dia developers, what's the reason for this not going in? ===== You don't have to go to jail for helping your neighbour http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
