Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 17.4

So for your last technical task of the year, as Heli recommends, go get the latest version of Oracle SQL Dev Data Modeler. Looks like a bunch of important fixes (including some “annoying behavior”).

Cheers!

This is a version I have been waiting: so many important bug fixes! I downloaded it immediatelly the evening it was available and finished one of my projects using it.

If you have not downloaded it yet, do it today: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/downloads/index.html

Why did I waited for it? Because of, for instance, these bug fixes:

27245333 – IMPORT OF DDL AS ORACLE 12CR2 DOESN’T RECOGNIZE DATA TYPES
27182476 – SQL SERVER 2012 DDL GENERATION FAILS WITH CLASS CAST EXCEPTION
26985782 – STANDARD REPORT – COLUMN DATA TYPE IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN COLLECTION
27040952 – DESIGN PROPERTIES DIALOG DOESN’T WORK
26988362 – IMPORTING LEGACY PHYSICAL MODEL RESULTS IN TABLE ITEMS LISTED RED IN HIERARCHY
27041167 – REVERSE CLAUSE FOR INDEX IS NOT PROCESSED DURING IMPORT FROM DATABASE
26918584 – SYNC TO DB CANNOT RECOGNIZE TABLES WHEN PROXY USER IS USED
26919656 – PROBLEMS WHEN EDITING UDP FOR ATTRIBUTES IN ENTITY DIALOG
26750611…

#SQLDevModeler Tip: From Domain to Database… A Comment Conundrum

Great tip on creating a custom transformation script in SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) from the awesome David Schleis:

Recently on the Data Modeler Forum, I came across this question:

Is it possible to mirror domain comments, from Domain Administration into attribute “Comments in RDBMS”?  Would like to mirror these to the ddl so they can be then available in column comments in the database.

I knew that one of the example transformation scripts provided with Data Modeler copies the column “Comments” property to “Comments in RDBMS”, so I thought I would point this out to the questioner, and that would be that.  But….

Model on!

New Version of SQL Developer Data Modeler is available!

It is now version 17.2!

Don’t worry, you have not missed 13+ releases!

A new versioning number system has been put in place and applies to both SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM). A new version will come out about four times a year and the version number is created using the last two digits of the year and the number of the quarter.

So version 17.2 = Q2 2017

Data Modeler

You can get the newest version here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html

SQL Developer

There is also a new version (17.2) for this tool as well. Get it here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html

Download and have fun!

Better Data Modeling: Customizing Oracle Sql Developer Data Modeler (#SQLDevModeler) to Support Custom Data Types

On a recent customer call (for Snowflake), the data architects were asking if Snowflake provided a data model diagramming tool to design and generate data warehouse tables or to view a data model of an existing Snowflake data warehouse. Or if we knew of any that would work with Snowflake.

Well, we do not provide one of our own – our service is the Snowflake Elastic Data Warehouse (#ElasticDW).

The good news is that there are data modeling tools in the broader ecosystem that you can of course use (since we are ANSI SQL compliant).

…

If you have read my previous posts on using JSON within the Snowflake, you also know that we have a new data type called VARIANT for storing semi structured data like JSON, AVRO, and XML.

In this post I will bring it together and show you the steps to customize SDDM to allow you to model and generate table DDL that contain columns that use the VARIANT data type.

Read the details of how I did it here on my Snowflake blog:

Snowflake SQL: Customizing Oracle Sql Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) to Support Snowflake VARIANT – Snowflake

Enjoy!

P.S. If you are in Austin, Texas this weekend, I will be speaking at Data Day Texas (#DDTX16). Snowflake will have a booth there too, so come on by and say howdy!
