Re-engineering DB Schema + DataNode

[Michael Gentry <bl...@gmail.com>]

I just used Cayenne Modeler to re-engineer a schema for a project I've
inherited (so I could hopefully see all the relationships/etc) and
noticed that when you do this, it doesn't automatically create a
DataNode for you with the connection information that was entered.
Does anyone else think it might be useful to do so?  If so, I could
look into this.  Also, I think I want a button to check all the "Use
for Locking" checkboxes, too.  :-)

Thanks,

I agree it shouldn't add DataNodes if one already exists.  What I was
thinking is to make sure you have a DataNode after supplying
connection information so you wouldn't have to enter it again.

Yeah, you can go back to the DataMap, which might be the best option
(I prefer to lock on everything but BLOBs), but I was thinking
something that worked more locally in the tab you were on so you'd not
have to bounce around when making minor tweaks.

+1 (if no other DataNodes yet exist in the project)

We do have that already - an "Optimistic Locking" checkbox and  
"Update" button in the DataMap.
