Rob, Apologies for the self-promotion, but I have a (free) tool that does this (though it isn't technically an ORM tool).
blog: http://steve.coldfusionjournal.com/create_tables_with_data.htm see the "Synchronize Database Structure" presentation: http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/presentations.cfm download and documentation: http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/cfcs/ my best explanation of what it is: http://steve.coldfusionjournal.com/datamgr_20_release_candidate.htm The (newly finished) documentation actually goes into a fair bit of detail about this feature. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Apologies if this is what you wanted. I thought Transfer might do what you wanted, but I looked through the documentation and saw no evidence that it would. Thanks, Steve Bryant Bryant Web Consulting LLC http://www.BryantWebConsulting.com/ http://steve.coldfusionjournal.com/ >Will Transfer or Reactor (or both) actually *create* the data model >for you from scratch?
