Mike and others, What a tool and what a solution. I was able to reverse engineer from Rbase => StarDesigner=> ERWin desktop after I had removed all of the "+" in the StarDesigner SQL Script. Also from an FYI perspective, ERWin Desktop is no longer supported and you do not get any credit for it when purchasing. Quote: Phil, got your message regarding ERwin Desktop. The desktop version of ERwin is no longer supported by Computer Associates. The version that will allow you to forward and reverse engineer a database is now called AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler. It is available for purchase through any major reseller. If you have a preferred reseller, I can have them send you a price quote for a new license. If not, I can recommend a reseller to you and have them send you pricing. Please advise as to how you would like to proceed? EndQuote.
So StarDesigner provided the middleware to get around this. Thanks.

I downloaded this StarB I installed it successfully. I chose Rbase 4.5 because that is as high as it went. When I chose the database, it came in. The only question is, how do I generate the script from where I have imported the structure? I looked at all and did not see an option under export nor save as.

You can simply unzip the diskimage to a subdirectory and create a shortcut to the .EXE and it will run ok without "installing". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil (Direct)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Rbase-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 10:59 AM Subject: Erwin Desktop Version - Reverse Engineering > > I am trying to reverse engineer two Rbase databases into ERWin ERD diagram. > I set up the databases in the ODBC User and System DSN with a path to the > databases (individually of course).
