staruml-reverse-db's Issues

ER diagram is empty

I ran this module and saw all tables being traversed in my database and a model was created on StarUML containing all my tables.

However, the resulting diagram was empty.

Am I expected to drag and drop all the tables to create this diagram, or should this module create the diagram for me, including auto-routing of table interconnects ?

Also I would like support of mysql if you will

StarUML v5 support?

Hello!

Do you plan on updating this to v5 any time soon?

Configure Server exception

Hi!

Click the menu (Tools > Database > MySQL Server > Configure Server...)

There was no configuration window appearing afterwards, nor any other changes.

How should I resolve that?

Thank you!

MS SQL Server encrypt

Most Azure Databases hosted instances requires that SSL be enabled.
Currently I don't see any options to enable SSL for the MS SQL Server connection.

No ERD is generated when connecting to a Postgres database

I'm trying to generate an ERD of a postgres database. I am running a vagrant box (homestead) with a postgres database, that has some tables in it. When I generate the data model, two messages appear: ER Data Model generation has been started. Please wait... and ER Data Model generation has been finished. In the model explorer an item was added with a database icon, but no tables or ERD schema was generated.

I'm running StarUML 2.8.1 on Windows and version 0.2.1 of this extension.

Postgres SSL option

could you please generate base informations when there is no foreign relations between tables?

hi,this plugin is great & excellent,i appreciate it 
when i connect to MySQL 5.7, in the settings page, there is a schema and a database,these confuses me . 
i think it would be better if it had a 'test connection button ';
and when clicking the ' generate ER data model ' , sometimes it just say ' there is an error', i think it would be better if it showed the actual error.  then i can google it ,or change the exact wrong place 
what i need most    is   as the title, generate something even if there is no foreign relations,

or could you please provide a radio button ,so that it will not bother the person who don't need this function.
thank you so much

Ignored port

The port set for MS SQL server configuration is ignored and it tries to connect 1433 rendering it unusable for any db not exposed on default port.

Unable to generate mysql data structure

Hello, the author, thank you very much for providing this plug-in. I have encountered a problem in my use. I cannot generate the data structure to mysql database, but I can get the existing structure from the database

staruml config set：

def.test ERD was generated using Alt +shift+p, but could not be synchronized to mysql data

Using Alt +shift+p again generates def.test ERD

What method does the building advocate have

Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

I'm seeing the following error when trying to generate the ER data model:

Would it be possible to fix it?

StarUML - Issue upgrading to latest version

I just did try updating your package listed in StarUML 3.1.0 on my Mac OS X (10.14.6). Every time I update and restart StarUML I see that this package is available for update. I did try updating a few times. I am attaching the screenshots. Let me know if you need any information about my setup.

Does not support POSTGRESQL

This really should support PostgreSQL.

Supporting other DB's is a worthy goal and would turn StarUML into a competitive option to much more expensive tools.

What would it take to have you add support for PostgresSQL?

Sync or replace existing data model

I created a data model with StarUML and exported it with this plugin. (https://github.com/niklauslee/staruml-ddl)
After that I changed the database (added columns, changed columns to nullable, etc.).
Is it possible to sync the changes back to the StarUML data model and maybe even to the ER Diagram without dragging every entity into the diagram and losing the diagram design?
I tried to rename the data model like the imported data model (ref.dbname) to force the plugin to replace it, but it just creates a data model with the same name.

trouble installing extension

Hello,
My client and I are very interested in using the staruml-reverse-db extension but the extension keeps showing "Extension error" in Extension Manager and the database menu items to configure server etc are not functioning. I did also try installing the extension manually by copying the folder to the extensions folder but am getting the same outcome. I'm using a freshly downloaded copy of staruml 3.0.1 (unregistered). Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Can't generate ER Diagram

Try to generate ER Diagram from MS SQL Server 2012 with StarUML 3.0.0. It's not work, I copied the SQL from MsSqlAnalyzer.js and execute it on SSMS, it is successfully return the tables, columns and relations. That means my server configuration is well fuction. WHAT I MISSED?

Additional columns created when same named tables exist in other schemas for Postgresql

I noticed that after running "Generate ER Data Model" for Postgresql, there were additional columns created in tables. It turned out that the additional columns were from tables in other schemas in the database. After looking at the SQL in postgresql/PostgreSqlAnalyzer.js, I see a bug. I have attached a patch file for you: it adds an "AND" to the end of line 36 and inserts a new line for line 37, which adds "cls.relnamespace::regnamespace::text = col.table_schema". I tested the query against my database (which has duplicate table names in separate schemas) and the query worked.

Thank you,
Ben

Connect to MSSQL database with domain login

Discussed in #125

^{Originally posted by AbhijeetDixit July 4, 2023}
I have an MSSQL database which I am logging in to using the windows domain authentication. The database can be accessed using MS SQL Server Management Studio and other applications.
When I am trying to connect to the same with staruml-reverse-db, it is repeatedly saying login failed for the user. I verified and used the same credentials and server name as MSSQL Mgmt studio. Is there a way to diagnose what actually is causing the issue? Is there something I need to be mindful of to prevent such a failure?
Let me know if further information is required.
