And the Designer gets live

After a litle time of work, I managed to get the Centaurus Database Designer retrieving the schema from real databases, using Centaurus.Data, of course.

I tested it with some databases, some very large, and it works quite well. There are only a few (drawing) bugs on relations, nothing critical.

The current SVN revision has many improvements like Relationships, Primary Keys and most important pararell support for Mysql 4.1.x and 5.x. It is working for both versions with automatic handling of the different supported features. Currently only Views are missing to my first release of the library, yet, thats only a few minutes of work.

One of major helpers I’m getting in the development of Centaurus.Data is nunit. MonoDevelop integration is beeing very handy, even crashing from time to time, specially with the few improvements in the last revisions.

You can browse and checkout the code on Centaurus Novell Forge Page. Patches are welcome :)

    Hi,

    The code is on svn only. I didn’t made any tarball yet since Centaurus is still in its early stages, not ready and full of bugs.

    It doesn’t
    support Oracle yet, but I would be glad if someone added support to it.

    You can browse the repository here.
