Thanks Sacha and Art.

This is what I expected  (i.e copy EOModelers SQL, paste it into a text editor). I was just hoping there would be a nicer way incase I need to do it multiple times.

The purpose of this "seriously silly requirement" is so that when the DBAs use their GUIs or SQL*Plus etc, they don't have to scroll horizontally to find that the PK is in the 22nd column of a 35 column table, so that the most important keys can be found instantly which is fair enough. But this seems a pain when I have been using OpenBase for so long and can simply click and drag columns in the order I want.

After speaking with our Oracle DBA they would like columns name for each table to be created in order of their significants when the create table statements are ran.

i.e The Primary Key(s) should be first, the candidate keys then foreign keys, then every thing else.

However the default in EOModeler is to order them alphabetically is there any way around this? So I can customize the order on a per table basis ?

Yes, there is a way around this: get a new DBA.  That is a seriously silly requirement.


I would prefer not to write the SQL by hand.

If the insanity persists, hand-coding is probably your best bet.  EOModeler's output is rather limited anyway, so its nice to be able to replicate all the tweaks that you may have to do in a single file.
