First suggestion, download and apply the 
following patch:

ftp://exchange.rational.com/exchange/outgoing/dm_patch/ 

dm_patch.ZIP 

To install this patch, shut down Rose, then unzip this file to the 
datamodeler directory which by default is: 

C:\Program Files\Rational\Rose\datamodeler 

and answer yes to overwrite existing files. 

Restart Rose. 

This patch fixes some problems parsing a Oracle 8 DDL.

If that does not correct the problem, please COPY and post
the _exact_ error message from the Rose log along with the 
line triggering the error from the DDL (open up the DDL file 
in a text editor, and go to the line number identified in the 
Rose log).

Subject: (ROSE) Reverse-engineering Oracle DDL



Hi guys,

I'm having problems reverse-engineering an Oracle 8i DDL script into Rose
Professional Edition 2002.05.01.

I created the DDL by using Oracle's "imp" command on a .dmp file, using the
"indexfile" clause.

When I read it into Rose, it complains about the word "constraint" in the
DDL - I get messages like "error... encountered 'constraint' at column
32..." and it doesn't appear to import anything successfully.

It's a fairly simple schema; 35 tables with primary and foreign keys, no
indexes, no triggers or stored procedures. Can anyone help me import it
successfully?

TIA
Nick
