Hello everyone,
I'm just playing around with CodeCharge trial right now evaluating
it for purchase. It looks greatso far except for one thing. Maybe I'm just
an idiot and don't know how to do it or it isn't supported but why doesn't
CC generate the DB tables and fields based on the code. This product would
be awesome if I could design something say like bugtracking or whatever and
hit generate and not only would the code be generated but a .sql or .mysql
script to run that would create the tables and fields I need to get my
generated code working. Does this work now or is this something that will
work in the next release? If so then sign me up! If not does anyone know
of any products that create the php code and the corresponding mysql scripts
for the code?

Thanks in advance,
Sean

I don't believe that what you're asking is possible, at least yet.
Database design is a manual task, requires intelligence and many people
would design similar database differently.
Someone needs to specify the names of fields, decide how many tables should
be used and for what purpose, and how they corelate. A program cannot
automatically determine for example that a list of SubCategories should be
included in the Category table, or in it's own SubCategory table, or
possibly not be included in a table at all, just be mixed up directly with
the products in Item table.
If you specify all the tables and field names, then you'll end up designing
the database, which you just tried to avoid.

I recommend using Microsoft Access to quickly create your tables and then
use it as the base of your system. This could take less then an hour for the
bug tracking system. You can also use various tools to convert MS Access to
MySQL once you're finished.

Some of our users use DBTools at http://dbtools.vila.bol.com.br/
We will be also releasing MS Access 2 MySQL converter in a couple of weeks.
