That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider adding a spell check and dictionary support.

The Power*Architect has no inherent limitation in the number of columns or tables. The underlying databases, however, may have limits. For example Oracle can have 1000 columns and PostgreSQL can have 65535 columns.

Hemiptera

It can make some of the components seem to disappear on higher zooms. Try turning it on, selecting a relation and zooming out.

I was poking around the preference window when I noticed you have some sort of error reporting. What's the deal on that?

Hemiptera

We only grab some basic information, nothing that we can use to identify you. A stack trace, some memory stats, os and JVM versions and a couple of other things.

Here's an example of what we collect.

We don't auto fill in the user-activity-description and remarks field. Those were added with the intention of having the user fill those in to give us a better description of what was going on. As of now, we don't give any facility to enter those fields, so they're always blank.

By the way you can turn this of in the User Preference menu if you feel that this is too much information. We'd prefer if you'd leave it on so we can at least get the stack trace.

I have several versions of Oracle on site (8, 9, 10) and I need to use them all at the same time in the architect. When I try to use the Oracle 10 driver with Oracle 8 or 9, I get an error that says I have to use the matching driver for my version of oracle.

How can I do this?

Unfortunately you cannot do this at the moment. We do plan to add it in an upcoming release, as we've run into the exact same problem.

For now you'll have to remove and add the drivers back in when you go between oracle versions.

Sorry,

Architect Version 0.9.0 has been released!
It is avaiable for download at http://download.sqlpower.ca/architect/current.html

Here's the list of new things in Architect 0.9.0:

Added in a new function: Profiling
- Displays the distrobution of a column's data in a pie chart B1
- Displays useful profiling information such as maximum and minimum values of a column
- Shows the most frequent n values within the column (the number of results to display is configurable within project settings)
- Ability to sort the information by column attribute
- Easy to use search function to narrow down results
- Save profiling data in csv, pdf or html formats
Rectify "Save" filename handling: the file suffix is used in preference to the selected File Selection Filter.

Fixed the "Locked Column throwing silent exceptions" bug. When moving a imported column to another table, it did not show the warning error.

Fixed null count problem in sql server

Fixed minor type mapping problem in the oracle ddl generator

Change from directly using the Swing Browser to display the manual as a form of Help, to using Sun's JavaHelp API.

Added an Index file to the help file.

Looks like we sometimes fail to drop the existing primary key.

It's been added as bug 1221.

Hey that's a good idea. We'll allow you to ignore the forward engineer warnings.

We've added it to our bugzilla. It's bug 1220, if you need to reference it in the future.

Matt

Unfortunatly at this point in time we don't support sybase.

We do plan on adding it at some point in the future.
