I'm working with Entity Modeler for the first time tonight. These
might be stupid newbie questions, or they could be bugs. Please bear
with me!
- when I create a new attribute, whether by clicking the toolbar
button or double-clicking in the Attribute pane, several attributes,
including the new one, are left selected. This results in the
Properties pane displaying "Properties are not available." I have to
click on an empty attribute row, then on the new one, in order to get
back into position for editing.
- the External Type I enter always goes away after I select the Data
Type, and I have to go back and re-enter it.
- when I create an attribute with a Data Type of NSData, the External
Width field stays active. In the case of a BLOB, which doesn't have
a fixed length, is it ok to leave it blank?
- when I create an attribute with a Data Type of Timestamp, there is
a field for Server Timezone. What format is that expected in, and
how does it handle daylight savings time?
- when creating a to-one relationship, what is the Definition field
for? And how do you enter the Source and Destination attributes?
There doesn't seem to be any way to edit those fields in the
Properties pane for the relationship.
I have Eclipse 3.2.0 and WOLips build 3073 on OS X.
Thanks for any and all answers!
