Thank you, but is there a way in EOModeler? (really, I've never
completely understand how to user Entity Modeler)
Sure.
1) Select two entities (make sure you've given them a primary key
each, an entity name, external name)
2) Choose Property > Join in Many to Many
3) make sure join entity has its external name and entityName as
desired.
The concept in Entity Modeler is similar - but far less buggy....
i.e., select two entities, right-click, choose New Relationship...
and follow the prompts. I really suggest that you jump over to using
WOLips now. Really, the water is fine, there's lots of help available.
> 2) don't flatten the relationships
Otherwise, create normal toMany relationship from A to AB, and B to
AB in the modeler.
Usually I use this , but I like to continue learning new way to do
things ;-P
