I was just digging into pgaccess a little, cleaning up the
diagramming feature I had added. In a fit of naivete, I had
called them "schema", as in the logical idea, not the
SQL key word. Since we're going to be implementing SQL SCHEMA,
eventually, perhaps this would be a good time to rename this
feature in pgaccess.
How does "Diagrams" sound? Anyone have a better idea? The name appears
on a tab. The other tabs are labelled:
Tables, Queries, Views, Sequences, Functions, Reports, Forms, Scripts,
Users, ????.
Keep in mind, I have been thinking about connecting the schema diagrammer
into the visual query builder, so that you can set a 'strict' mode,
where it'll only allow joins that have been defined in the schema
editor. That's why I named it schema, in the first place. It'd be nice to
have the diagramming interact with primary key/foreign key constraints,
optionally drawing them in automatically. However, all it does right
now is draw tables and let you draw links between them, by dragging and
dropping fieldnames.
