Sounds like your are proposing modelling classes for frontend/middleware ? I have always wondered what those tools are expected to model: - storage layout - business layer classes > 3) Make an USE-CASE diagram based on the lists wishlist I've been telling people for literally years to come up with use cases and we'll work on them (even without the proper tools). Few have responded. Those few have received confirmation and reassurance that their case will be considered and eventually be implemented. > 5) Generate a OO-ER diagram from the SQL (in UML is class diagram), I think > this will have to be done manually since postgres autodoc is very faulty. What are the faults thereof (apart from that it maybe doesn't stick to standard modelling terminology but rather tries to get the job done somehow) ? The one shortcoming I know of is that it doesn't take into account table inheritance either. I'd love to see better tools applied to the job.
