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

SQL Developer Data Modeler Language

When I installed SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.0, it came out to be a German Version (perhaps because I do have German Windows).
Now the documentation is in English, it refers to menu names dialog boxes with english names I cannot find in the product.
As well the forum entries refer to english properties.
What do I need to do in order to install this product with English Language?

Hi,
You should be able to find datamodeler.conf and datamodeler64.conf within the subfolder datatamodeler/datatamodeler/bin of the folder you installed (unzipped) Data Modeler 4.0.0.833 into.

"SQL Developer" vs. "SQL Developer Data Modeler"

Hi Everybody!
I'm using SQL Developer and I miss functionalities like re-engeneering of ER Models. As far as I know this is what the "SQL Developer Data Modeler" does. So my question is: Is the "SQL Developer Data Modeler" a complete replacement for "SQL Developer" or do I need both?
thank you in advance

Whoooops, sorry, I replied in the wrong thread -.-
My reply was meant to be in the thread about Designer EA2 and the non-versioned repository import (Import repository from Designer concerning non-versioned applications (EA2)

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.

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
vitaliy

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.

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.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - integration with subversion

I just discovered the release of SQL Developer Data modeler, and found this to be very interesting.
We are still using Oracle Designer for database design, but we are looking for a replacement (for several reasons).
My question is quite simple:
Given that the modeler uses a filebased repository, and also given that we have several developers potentially working on a data-model at the same time, how does Data Modeler integrate with subversion for source control etc.?
Can the repository itself be under source control, and checked in/out directly from Data Modeler?
Or will only the output files be candidates for version/source control?
Let me admit right away that I have not read much of the data modeler docs, and I have also not downloaded/installed it (yet), but does anyone have pointers to docs on this , or general input/knowledge around it.
On a side note, I must say that it puzzles me that a company like Oracle, that delivers one of the best databases doesn't use its database engine to host the repository, but instead chooses to go for files (I assume xml) "scattered all over the place"....
Well, I guess they a have a reason for it..
Anyway:
Sql Developer Data Modeler and Subversion anyone?
Jens

Hi Jens,
It's early days and the initial implementation is indeed file based. Though I'd say not xml files "all over the place", but in ordered folders. Yes, as a database company it does make sense that we'd have a repository for managing and versioning metadata. However the tool supports Oracle and other databases and many companies use open source version control tools, such as Subversion and so anyone using the Data Modeler today can use it with Subversion regardless of the database they are designing for.
We do plan to have a repository, but in the 6+ months of the early adopter program found that many of the early adopters were happy to place the files under source code control using Subversion and in so doing also managed the multi-user development.
Integrated Subversion support is planned for a future release.

Foreign key Mapping based on Data - in SQL Developer Data modeler

Team
Do SQL Developer Data modeler supports Foreign Key mapping based on the Data in the Schema rather defined at the DDL ? For e.g if we implement a Objects Relation ship mapping in Data base, we don't define Foreign keys at table creation.
Toad does this feature through "AUTOMATIC FOREIGN KEYS MAPPING IN TOAD DATA MODELER" more info at (http://toadworld.com/Blogs/tabid/67/EntryId/905/Automatic-Foreign-Keys-Mapping-in-Toad-Data-Modeler.aspx)
any one know how to implement through some scripts also helps me
Regards
Raj

If you have table PKs defined and the candidate columns match those PK columns, then you can use the Discover Foreign Keys utility. Right mouse over the relational model name (node) in the left browser. It is about half way down the menu. I did a blog post about it last week on kentgraziano.com.

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.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - Relation to Foreign Key Generation

SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 Build 584.
I am having trouble with Relations to Foreign Keys when Forward Engineering a Relational Model from a Logical Model.
First of all, the Naming Standard is not applied to the Foreign Keys when I perform the Engineer to Relational Model.
So I right click on the Relational Model from the Browser and Apply Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints.
I uncheck everything but Foreign Keys.
Now, Foreign Keys are named according to my Naming Standards.
However, this process also performs renames on the Column Foreign Keys even though I specifically unchecked that option.
This appears to be a BUG in the software and I haven't found a way around it.
I tried using {column} instead of {ref column} in the Naming Standard Template for Column Foreign Key, but that simply resulted in renaming my columns to "{column}".
Please confirm and/or let me know of any work-around for this.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Philip,
Thanks for the reply.
Is this recorded as a bug to be addressed in the future?
Should I submit this problem via Oracle Support?
The other work-around I came up with is to override every Relation name in the Logical Model with the name I want to use in the Relational Model.
When the Relational Model is Engineered, this becomes my Foreign Key name.
Of course, this is not how I want to do things, so I am hoping for a bug fix someday.
Regards,
Dan

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler start up error

Hi All,
I just downloaded Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009] by selecting the option "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE)"
After I installed the same and tried to run it by clicking datamodeler.exe, I get the following error message
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
On the same machine I can successfuly run the Oracle SQL Develper with no errors. My machine is having Windows XP Professional SP3.
Any ideas? If there was a problem with Java, than the Oracle SQL Developer should also not run. But as stated it runs with out any error but the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler gives the above error.
Regards,
JAA149

1 - The above problem has nothing to do with the memmory. I tried on a 400 MB RAM, 900 MB RAM, 1.5 MB RAM & 2 MB RAM with the same arror.
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
http://i30.tinypic.com/9vkwf6.jpg
2 - There are two "datamodeler.exe: files
One is at D:\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe
2nd is at D:\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.exe
The same error occurs with both the files.
3 - The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009]" and the file I downloaded is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE) - (57M)"
If I look in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\README.txt" I find
"Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6"
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\javacpl.exe" I get
http://i30.tinypic.com/mt8ocn.jpg
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\jureg.exe" I get
http://i28.tinypic.com/30boiyo.jpg
If i check at the control panle add/remove program
http://i30.tinypic.com/1428tba.jpg
If I go to "http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp" and download "jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe" and run it.
If I go to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6" I find the same files as in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre"
I am able to run Oracle SQL Developer with out any kind of error let alone the above one. But with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler I get the above mentioned error no matter what I try.
As the error states "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". The file "jvm.dll" is located at two places. One at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" and the second at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
A similiar problem occurs with JDeveloper with the fllowing solution
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=506339&start=0&tstart=0
Which states the following
"hello!
in the problem with JDeveloper i have a solution. The jdk have a file jvm.dll in the path: jdk/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll this is the problem ... now in the path:jdk/jre/bin/client/ojvm has a file with the same name if you copy and paste this file to the another path, now its works fine your Jdeveloper.
Jdeveloper use two files to jvm.dll to work one in the folder /client and other in /server copy the same file to the two locations for precaution
for me work fine thanks..."
I tried to do the same (Copy from client folder to server folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Nada. So I reversed it (copied from server folder to client folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Does not work. So I tried another solution stated at the same forum entry
"Well,
i solved the problem by this way :
<SQLDEVELOPER>/jdev/bin/ide.conf
In this file, change this line :
AddVMOption -Xmx512M
by
AddVMOption -Xmx256M
Now, the executable is lauching correctly. No more errors with Java Virtual Machine.
But is it a good thing to solve it like that ?"
But the ide.conf file is only at "D:\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf" which is for the SQL Developer and not the SQl Developer Data Modeler
Correct me if I am wrong but
JRE = Java Run Time Envoirment
JDK = Java Development Kit
And Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler needs JRE and not JDK. In any case I download JDK
jdk-6u14-javafx-1_2-windows-i586.exe (121,306 KB) and installed it but no succcess.
I tried every thing except completely re-install my whole PC.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Sql Developer Data Modeler 3.0 EA1: Custom transformation script

What is the object model used by:
Tools -> Design Rules -> Transformations
From looking at the examples (and guessing) I have managed to create ID attributes on all my entities, but how do I set its sequence number or set it as the primary key?
entities = model.getEntitySet().toArray();
for (var e = 0; e<entities.length; e++)
entity = entities[e];
att = entity.createAttribute();
att.setName('ID');
- Marc de Oliveira

content of XML files:
1) class described, parent class if there is one
2)<property .../>
describes property - set and get method, data type of property, default value
3) <collection ... />
describes collection of objects belonging to class - 5 collections are defined in Table.xml - columns, indexes, table check constraints, column groups and spatial definitions
- get method - to get collection
- create item method - method of described class used to create item for that collection; so for columns collection table.createColumn() will create column in table
- other methods - add, move, remove if are defined
4)other meta data
definitions in 1) .. 4) are used by Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, so it'll be wrong to modify those xml files
5)<roproperty ../>
Data Modeler doesn't parse/process these definitions, we decided to not filter them out however you should not rely that much on them
6)some junk left
For each object you can set your own properties and they will be persisted (also included in compare/merge in versioning) together with other information for object - look at "template table" example in transformation scripts. Here are methods you can use:
void setProperty(String key, String value);
     String getProperty(String key);
     boolean hasProperty(String key);
     boolean hasProperty(String key, String value);
     void removeProperty(String key);
     void clearProperties();
     Iterator getPropertyNames();
