Thanks to all (David and Paul) for the resource suggestions. I
ordered the books from Amazon...just a fyi: it was under $20 for
both of them!!!!
Also, I bought and have the videos. I have watched most of the
first one. Quick question. This app I am creating uses existing
data in an existing database. I was using straight java and jdbc to
connect and try to read from those table. After viewing the video,
it looks like I am going to be much happier if I copy off the
tables, use EOModeler to actually create the tables in the db and
then import the data. It looks like some invisible plumbing is set
up by using EOModeler to generate the database tables.
I don't think you will need to do this.
I just want to verify I am on the right track so far.......so I
guess to further explore that path, further down the line, if I
want to connect to a database where the option of deleting the
database and letting EOModeler create the tables and such does NOT
exist, is this not going to be a happy happy experience for me?
In most cases, you should be able to just point EOModeler at your
database (with the correct jdbc connection settings) and it will
reverse engineer your database into a model for you. You can then
clean it up to your liking.
There is no "invisible plumbing" that EOModeler does in the database.
The only thing you're likely to get is an "eo_pk_table" for tracking
the PKs that EOF manages (if your database doesn't have a plugin to
handle that in a native fashion). It's function is very straight
forward.
I'd suggest you read through the EOModeler guide before starting
