Sql Developer Data Modeller Viewer 3.0 version

Is there a Data Modller Version 3.0 availalbe? IF not, when will version 3.0 come out and will Version 2 Viewer work with a 3.0 Model ?

by creating a web application on top of the reporting schema tablesDiagrams are stored as PDF files there. So it's naturally to use those PDFs in database. Besides they are smaller, with better quality and text search can be used to find table or column on diagram. PNG file could be very big and it's just a picture, no text search.

SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer - domain datatypes

I'm using the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer (that comes free with SQL Developer) to view a model that was created in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (the chargeable product). The colums have all been defined using domain datatypes. I have an XML file defining the domains but I cannot see where in the viewer you can import a domian file into or where in the model's directory structure the file can be placed to be read by the viewer. Without this the columns are all showing as datatype 'Unknown'.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

two set of domains can be maintained in Data Modeler:
- per installation - they are in file defaultdomains.xml in "datamodeler\domains" directory
- per design - they are in "domains" directory under your design directory -
"Per installation" domains are used in your case - "per design" domains are "attached" to design - when you send the design to someone else, they are in design structure.
Your solution - to get defaultdomains.xml file from installation where design is created and to put it in your "datamodeler\domains" directory.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - View Engineering

I start with a Logical Model and forward engineer to a Relational Model.
I am using Name Templates and a glossary for all names in my model which enables translations from Logical names to Physical abbreviated names with _ separators.
When a View is created in a Logical Model and then forward engineered to a Relational Model, the resulting graphical image displays a translated physical name as the View name, however, the columns (or attributes) are displayed the same as the Logical versions (Full names with space separators).
Is this a design decision? I'm expecting to see the physical column names on the display.
The DDL of the generated view is correct with properly translated column names.
Also, In cases where I have multiple (alias) views of the same physical table, I would love the ability to apply a prefix in front of each column name during view engineering to give unique column names for each view representation. This is a recommended technique in dimensional modeling when using multiple view aliases so that reporting tools see distinct column names for each appropriate context.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

This is a recommended technique in >dimensional modeling when using multiple view aliases so that reporting tools see distinct column names for each appropriate context.I logged ER for that. You can define alias for each column and that will solve the problem. Unfortunately it'll take more time.
however, the columns (or attributes) are displayed the same as the Logical versions (Full names with space separators)that's fixed.

Domains usage in SQL Developer data MODELER

Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to use Domains in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. We use version 3.1.3 . before I used Toad Modeler where domains are just part of your main design.
Oracle data modeler has some different concept.
let's assume I'm working on 2 designs: DesignA and DesignB that include relational models.
DesignA and Design B should use domains but list of domains in design A is very different than in design B.
Default domain file is located on c: drive where SqlModeler is installed. It is obviously unacceptable , so I need to change Default System Type directory in preferences.
And of course I want to have different domain directories for DESIGN A and DESIGN B.
So when I open design A then I changed Default System Type directory let's say to x:\AAA. Then i close design A and open Design B and change Default System Type directory to x:\BBB
I checked folders AAA and BBB and they have necessary XML files there: defaultdomains.xml, defaultRFDBSSites and so on....
Now questions:
can I rename defaultdomains.xls to something else like AAAdomains.xls? Domain administration can edit any domain file with any name , but how can I associate certain domain file with my design? My wish , when I open my design , then corresponding domain file will be open automatically. Is it possible?
If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well. Currently I shouldn't forget to change default System Type directory every time when I switch models. Is it the only way to handle it?
Thanks

Hi Vitaliy,
We use version 3.1.3
I recommend always to use the latest version. If you don't want to use beta (DM 4.0 EA is out) you can use DM 3.3.
Otherwise Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler supports two types of domains:
1) DM installation domains - those in file defaultdomains.xml
2) Design level domains - they are stored in design directories and are visible to particular design only. They can be created in following ways:
2.1 Manually - there is a property "Domains file" and you id it's not set "defaultdomains" domain will become design level domain and will be stored in file with provided name (without .xml extension)
You can change later the file for design level domains, however you cannot change file for domain already in defaultdomains.xml.
2.2 Using types to domains wizard you can generate design level domains
2.3 Design level domains are created during import of DDL files (controlled in preferences)
2.4 You can import domains from specific file with domains using "File>Import>Domains" - you need to rename the source file if it's named defaultdomains.xml otherwise you'll get domains as installation domains
If the list with domains is too long you can define a list with preferred domains (or/and logical types) in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model" and you can use shorter list in Table/Entity dialog if check "Preferred" check box next to "Type:" combo box.
If I open 2 designs in Sql Modeler and switch between designs then corresponding domain files should be changed automatically as well
If you open 2 designs in one instance of DM they will use the same file with default domains i.e. you'll lose domains in one of design depending of setting for "system data type directory". You need to go with design level domains.

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Versus SQL Developer

Friends,
I'm trying to understand the differences between Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and the ability to use the Data Modeler in SQL Developer.
I've looked at both products home pages on OTN, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/datamodeler/index.html & http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html and would appreciate your comments on my findings so far
1) The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a stand-a-lone chargeable product whereas the use of the Data Modeler functionality of SQL Developer is free
2) The Data Modeler functionality within SQL Developer is basically a "viewer" I can create ERD's of my existing tables by dragging them into the modeler from the object navigator but that's about it. I can't save the diagram for later use or use it to change the structure of the table(s)
3) If I need to have "Oracle Designer" like ERD capabilities then I need to use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (after purchase!)
4) Are there any other differences I have missed?
Thanks in advance

You can open any diagram created in the stand-alone product in the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer and navigate through all property dialogs and the full navigator, just like you can in the stand-alone product, but with no update capabilities. This allows developers to fully review the model and all properties, without making changes.

Versioning Tab empty in SQL developer data modeler

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help.
I have installed Oracle SQL Develeoper Data Modeler 3.0.0.665.
I am unable to save any projects.
When I try I get no error and the saved project does not apper where I have selected to save.
If I go to the versioning tab there is nothing in the drop down list.
Everything works fine on an XP pc.
I have installed this on Windows server 2003.
Thanks in advance
Patrick

In the release notes it tells the certification:

Windows Server 2003 is not certified.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - Version 3.0.0.665 - Open older project fail

Hi,
I just downloaded latest version of SQL Developer Data Modeler (3.0.0.665) and there is no "File" -> "Open" menu item. There is only "Save", "Save as", "Compare with" and "Exit".
I try to drag`n`drop project file to the Data Modeler window. This operation leads to opening project file as XML. I got the same result when I try to open the file with windows context menu "Open with".
How can I open older Data Modeler project? My previous version was 3.0.0 and project file was created there.
Maybe I need disable "Start Page'? But how? I cann`t find appropriate param in Tools -> Preferences

Hi,
See this thread: Re: 30EA2 problem: Menu items not available

Sql Developer Data Modeler all domains lost after changing to version 3.0

I have two questions:
1. Sql Developer Data Modeler - is it still a separate product? Or is it only available as integrated within Sql Developer?
2. After opening a model created with Data Modeler 2.0 with the new integrated Data Modeler 3.0 I lost all my domain definitions. What can I do to avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Holger

Hi Holger,
Sql Developer Data Modeler - is it still a separate product? Or is it only available as integrated within Sql Developer?Standalone version is here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
2. After opening a model created with Data Modeler 2.0 with the new integrated Data Modeler 3.0 I lost all my domain definitions. What can I do to avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.Copy file defaultdomains.xml from DM 2.0 installation to "sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\extensions\oracle.datamodeler\types" directory (if you use version in SQL Developer) or to
"datamodeler\datamodeler\types" if you use standalone DM 3.0.
Location of this directory can be set in preferences - it's called system types directory there - it contains: default domains, RDBMS sites, logical types and custom scripts.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - MAC Version 2.0.0 Build 570 - Issues

In no particular order
- The Help, About box displays a different version information set then the SQL Developer Data Modeler, About SQl Developer Data Modeler.
- Not able to move any portion of the connection between entities. Thus there is no current way to align the lines as wanted.
- There is no way to scroll all the way to the right side if you have more then approximately 5 entities horizontally.
- Open SQl Developer data Modeler, Click on File, Open, select an XML file and a dialog box is displayed.
- The checkbox needs to be moved to the right as it is partially cut off.
- the text next to the checkbox is cutoff and only displays "Don't show this dialog agai".
- Printing Diagrams does not print correctly unless you have the entities displayed such that you can "read" them. If you have diminished the display so that you are not able to see the table or
field names then the Print Diagrams does not display the entity or field names.
- File, Recent Designs, does not retain the last or any design having been opened and/or saved.
- VarChar2 is not a displayed data type for Oracle 10G.
- There does not appear to be a way to create a set of fields which you would like to have added quickly and easily to selected tables.
- DDL Editor displays the Macintosh HD. It should display my User Directory

How can I find out what is causing this error in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Friends,
I am trying to import entities into into SQL Developer Data Modeler from Oracle Designer 10.1.2.3.
In case of need I perform these steps to perform the import:
File --> Import --> Oracle Designer Model --> Select database connection --> Select work area --> select application system --> select one entity --> Click finish --> Import starts
During the import process I see an alert dialog box with the message:
There are errors in import - check Log file Clicking Ok dismisses the alert box and I see the following summary screen:

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

No this helps a lot. It's not strange. Firstly, in a versioned repository you should see Private Workareas and Shared workareas, so your workarea may be in either of these. It won't be in the Global Shared Workarea, as this only for non-versioned repositories. (I like to open the RON by selecting the full Repository, that way I can see the private and shared worlareas and the configuration and containers all in the same tree.
Now your workarea is defined by a set of rules, so when you expand the workarea in the RON, and select the object, then that's the workarea and object you'll see in the import dialog in the Data Modeler. So if you check it out and check it back in, and can't see it in the RON, then the rule is not seeing this object. (Did you refresh the workarea in the RON?) If you can't see it in the RON, you can't see it in the Data Modeler. If you're working in a versioned repository, you need to work in the specific work area, i.e V27 and this is what you need to select in the Data Modeler.
It looks like you are selecting the wrong workarea in the Data Modeler.

Customising the Legend (Legend Box) - SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER

Hi,
Is there a way to customize the legend Box (obtained when you right click Show->Legend in the Relational or Logical model window) in the latest latest version of SQL Developer Data Modeler.
For example i would like to remove a particular attribute from the legend say Changed by or Author.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is not possible.
There will be such option in the future.

SQL Developer Data Modeler scripting

Hi,
I'm looking for a new modeling software for my company. SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) has many features that fit my requirements. But there are some things that I'm not sure can be done. I work mostly with Oracle databases but still need to support some legacy and non-sql databases. Please look at problems below and tell me if and how those things can be achieved. Any suggestions for alternative solutions are welcome too.
1) I need to be able process Database Model from command line without human intervention and starting any GUI applications, for example generate DDL script form the model. Does SDDM have any interface for that?
2) I want to be able to export Database Model into a file in a custom (legacy) format.
3) SDDM stores database description in xml files. Is xml format defined anywhere? Are xsd schema files availabe?
4) Is there a SDK available that would allow reading SDDM Database Model into a custom application for further processing?
5) Is there any Java library available that parses Oracle-11-compatible SQL and PL/SQL?
Thank you in advance
Tomasz Grygo

Hi Kevin,
thanks for sharing your thoughts. There will be much more advanced find/search facilities in next version of Data Modeler and scripts also will be covered.

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hello,
I have version 3.1.2.704 of SQL Developer Data Modeler and version 3.2.09 of SQL Developer installed.
When I´m adding a new connection in SQL Developer, I can choose the MySQL tab an create a connection to a MySQL database.
The connection test was successful and I can see all tables.
I use the same JDBC driver for SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar).
But there are two problems.
1. First there is an problem when I want to import from a MySQL database (SQL Developer -> File -> DataModeler -> Import -> DataDictionary).
After choosing the MySQL connection and pressing the next button an error occurs: CONNECTION_TYPE
What is the reason?
2. In SQL Developer Data Modeler I have not the CONNECTION_TYPE problem. But when I want to export DDL, there is no MySQL type selectable, although there is working connection to the MySQL Database. It´s the same in SQL Developer.
What is the reason?

Hi,
Data Modeler does not explicitly support import from MySQL databases, although you can use a JDBC connection to do this.
Philip described how to set this up in forum message How to connect mySQL for reverve engineering
There is no MySQL tab in Data Modeler - you should use "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" - "other third party Driver".
Set URL like : jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name
driver Class: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverAlso Data Modeler does not support generation of DDL for MySQL.

How to install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X?

How do I install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X? I downloaded the file "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx.gz" from OTN, but there is only a single file inside this archive - "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx". What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance...

Extract that file and then run it.
Once you installed the tool to your Applications folder (if you choose to move it to Applications), you'll need to install Java (maybe).
What version of OS X are you on?
In a command window/terminal, type 'java -version'
If you get something back like 'java version "1.6..." then you're all good.
If you're on Mountain Lion, then type 'java' instead. That should download java for you.
Once you've got java available, then launch SQL Developer Data Modeler.
The installation notes are here if you want the official list of instructions
