SQL Developer Data Modeling pricing

I just downloaded the EA version of SQL Developer Data Modeling. I read in the release notes that the production release won't be free - any idea about the pricing ?
Matthias

Once the pricing for SQL Developer Data Modeling has been confirmed, we will release the full licensing detail. This will not affect the SQL Developer licensing that exists today. We plan to release SQL Developer Data Modeling as a stand alone product and then as an extension to SQL Developer, for those who want to work in an integrated environment. You can download the second early adopter release of SQL Developer Data Modeling and test and use the product. Once we have a production release, we will not answer queries on the early adopter releases and the feedback application we are currently offering for this will be shut down. As such you can continue to work with the early adopter release, but it is incomplete and would be unsupported.

SQL Developer Data Modeler: free of licensing costs like SQL Developer?

Sue and SQL Developer Team,
At what release did Data Modeler become free? And by "free" does this mean free for development only? Or free of cost for any and all production use? From what I recall, early releases of Data Modeler were "free" to download but required for-pay licensing to use.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
"SQL Developer Data Modeler is a free data modeling and design tool..."
If there is a license fee for Data Modeler, then the above statement would be as misleading as one like the following:
"Oracle Enterprise 11g is a free database..."
Free to download, yes. Not free for production usage.

Evidently the answer is "yes" this time. Free as in free of licensing costs:

SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 - Licensing Terms?

Hi Sue & Co.
I just downloaded SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0. Very cool.
Any news regarding the Licensing terms?
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
All licensing questions and details can be accessed through the [Oracle Electronic Delivery|http://edelivery.oracle.com/] site. You'd be looking for the "Oracle Database Tools Media Pack for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)". The price list is available on the Oracle [Price Lists | http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/pricelists.html] site (see Technology).
The product will be available on the Oracle Store later in July.

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.

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0 Bugs, Resolution and workarounds

The purpose of this thread is to list bugs discovered while using ORACLE SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0
Mainly with SQL SERVER 2005 and ORACLE 10g models.

SQL Server Physical model doesn't save table identity column.
here are the steps to get this bug:
1. create a table in relational model with a column as an integer to be used as an identity.
2. create or open a physical model for SQL-SERVER 2005
3. open the table in the physical model
4. edit the integer column property dialog
5. tick the identity check box and close the property dialog
6. save the model and close it
7. open it again, you will find the identity check is removed! (probably not saved from the start)

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.

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.

Dan

SQL Developer Data Modeler: Logical model, unable to create arc

I have a logical model in SQL Developer Data Modeler. Entity A has two 'incoming' foreign key relations to entities B and C. Both releations have the same optionality and cardinality. I want to place both relations in an arc. I see the buttons in my toolbar menu, but they are not enabled. Even when I select both relations it is not.
Bringing the logical model to the relational model creates foreign keys. These foreign keys can be selected and when I do that the 'Create new arc' button in the relational model toolbar is enabled.
What am I missing in the logical model ...? The documentation doesn't give a clue.
Erik

Thanks Sue, that worked. It is different from the way the ERD in Designer worked. Is there any reasoning behind it. As far as I know you should only put into an arc two or more relationships pointing to the same entity with the same optionality and the same cardinality. Selecting the entity with the relationships can only help in identifying at which relationship end the arc should be created but that is obvious.
And asking the question is answering it: it will help in adding an arc to two or more entities originating and ending at the same entity (and same cardinality and optionality).
Is that the reasoning behind it?
Regards
Erik

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.

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

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.

"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)
