Foreign keys and relations on views based data modelGood day to you, can you pls take a look at oracle views foreign key detection? Entity Developer correctly sets primary keys from views, but foreign keys are not detected/setted. We are using views in our project and we are trying to have them related so Entity Developer can generate relationships from PKs/FKs. Can you pls review this issue? Here is link to oracle documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_4004.htm#SQLRF01104 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/clauses002.htm#i1002565 44 votes

Start ED without admin rightsUnfortunately it is necessary to start EntityDevoloper with Admin-Rights. That means, DE is useless for compannies with strict user policies (just normal user rights for all users). It would be very helpful to modify the configuration settings to store at a place accessible for all users! 39 votes

Support Xml Editing in Entity DeveloperI am editing the EDML visually in Entity Developer and textually in Notepad++. It would be nice to be able to toggle back and forth in ED to edit the XML. Especially when updating the model when a table has changed or when doing Find and Replace, e.g. False => false, Double to Decimal, or changing Widget to Spanner. 28 votes

T4 Template SSDL from SQL Server to OracleAllow to define DDL Generation Template property to "Devart SSDLToOracle.tt" (or some other template) in an EDMX model and that generates database type automatically from an SQL Server model to Oracle (or 1.vice versa) as explained at this thread:

Support DB-agnostic ModelsModel should be DB-agnostic. One or more DB connections to a specific DB can be defined. These could be used for synchronization, XML mapping file generation etc. when requested by user. This way, a single model is maintained for more than one DB types. Now, there is not a simple way to accomplish this. 22 votes

Update stored procedure complex typeNow, that you can update model quite easy the only problem is the complex types, that are generated. There should be an option in update wizard to force execute selected stored procedure to get the result and check against current mapped complex type or you could force update for a selected procedure in Methods. Currently, its a big pain to update procedures, that have changed output. You have to hunt them down one by one and add them again. It should not be that complicated. 19 votes

Have a button that lets you reset or order the numbers in a enumIn the Edit mode when designing a enum it would be great if there was a button that would reset the numeric values to all blank values. It would also be great if there was another button that would assign numeric values from either 0 to n or to 1 to n (give the user the option for either starting with 0 or 1) each value of the enum. At the moment if I have a enum with 40 values in it and I put a new enum in the middle I need to go through and change a ton… 13 votes

Support for macro-style automationsWe use Entity Developer for large projects. It would be really helpful if we could automate certain simple but time-consuming tasks. E.g. when a class is created, we want certain properties to be created automagically (<ClassName>ID, <ClassName>Version, LastUser, LastDate etc) 10 votes
