Hi!

Does Dali generate foreign key constraints when generating the DDL from
entities? I enabled the check box but there are not foreign key
constraints. I expected some for the ManyToOne and OneToMany relations.
Or is that feature not implemented yet?

Cu, Gunnar

Hi Gunnar,

Dali does not generate foreign key constraints as this feature is indeed
not yet implemented.

I'm not sure if you had seen any of the recent discussions on DDL gen, but
we have decided to leverage the DDL generation of JPA runtime
implementations in the future. This means that we will transition our
in-house DDL generation code into an integration with a user specified JPA
complaint runtime. This won't look very different on the outside (in the
wizard), but we will use your selected JPA implementation under the covers
to generate the DDL.

With our finite resources, it seems to make a lot of sense to avoid
duplicating and maintaining this functionality if we can avoid it, while
still maintaining a similar level of functionality.
