Extensibility..(part 2) - The Class Designer and DB Design
I got a flood of nearly 50 spam messages in a single day (a couple of days ago) and Donny Mack has said that they definitely are doing something ASAP. So i'm waiting.
Anyway, on the lines of my previous post on Whitehorse extensibility, here's my postulation on extending the class designer. My idea is to use the class designer and with OR mapping principles, make it generate a database design.
The generation will have to highly customizable because DDL generation is a highly sensitive thing for database folk and from personal experience i know that some OR mappers (that take class design as input) generate some primitive DDL thats quite useless.
It should be interesting to take this further into XML message design and so on.
