Yeah, I'm not a big fan of code generation myself. The only code generating tool I personally use is ERWin for modeling Oracle databases. I find I spend more time in the application tweaking the design so it generates the correct code, then if I just wrote it by hand. However, management loves pictures, especially when printed on a plotter.
The biggest problem with the tools I've used is what was mentioned earlier. It works great on the initial build, but becomes an obstacle when updating. My ERDs quickly become out of date because the software does a poor job of version management. When I say poor job, I mean it doesnt do anything at all. It generates everything... not just the changes made since version x. btw. did Adalon ever come out with a version that supported CFCs? I mean they had been promising it for a long time; so long that I gave up waiting. -Adam PS This is what part the alphabet would look like if Q and R did not exist.
