RE: easy way to create a DB with multiple tables exists ?

I think for the amount of work that you have, and at your level of skill, you may want to spend some time developing SQL by hand.   The reason I suggest this is that you will have a better understanding of what is your database as well as the syntax behind your “point and click” world. Consider that the majority of your time is spent on developing the model and not the syntax, you’re not really going to save any time.  Your comment about “slowing you down” and spending time elsewhere is a point of concern.  Once you learn the syntax of SQL, you should be a lot more efficient.   I would recommend that if you’re looking for a good “logical DBA” tool, then consider Erwin. The only downside is that its now being sold by CA and they are charging somewhere north of $3,000 USD. Before people balk at the price tag, consider what you get for the money. As a professional DBA/developer, its really a great tool.    I’m not running Erwin, yet, because I recently went back to running my own shop after leaving IBM. But it is on my wish list and will be one of my first major purchases… But then again, I’m being called on to support IDS/DB2/Oracle/Sybase/ etc …for various customers. So having a graphical model for documentation is a good thing.   Just my .02 cents….

I have done this in other situations but not with Derby. Not ideal but it may remove most of the effort.   I have used tools that convert MS SQL database SQL into Oracle SQL. Maybe there is a tool like this for Derby?   Personally I'd make the effort to learn SQL better so you can write all the SQL yourself. I find this easier than having to adjust to various graphical tools.   Regards,   Rhys   From: yeradis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 March 2006 12:15 To: derby-user@db.apache.org Subject: easy way to create a DB with multiple tables exists ?   hi first all sorry by my english i'm a developer who want to start using de derby core to develop my apps but i'm a windows user/developer that have the mania of use sql server , ms access and that tools and i'm having trouble to adaptate me to use the rustic way to build and maintin the derby database there is an easy way to build an maintan a derby database??? i mean a graphical IDE like ms access i founded iSQL that is more easy than ij but it is rustic the workbench of ibm don't work with embedded databse and realy i want to use derby core thanks and again sorry by my english
