Any news on the functionality to update existing tables, by injecting just new rules, rather than overwrite them? What about reverse engineering, i.e. in the case a developer manually changed some rules, added some tables and models?

Hi Edwin,

Thanks for you interest and support.

To my understanding that Yii CActiveRecord does not need any schema file to work with, it reads the schema on the fly from the database table structure. And with Yii shell command it helps to generate the CActiveRecord class files, but without relational rule, so our script simply fills this gap by utilizing mwb file, which should help on medium/large scale database driven web applications.

Therefore it should work as Yii plugin rather than a MySQL workbench plugin, where it would fit the purpose and context more.

However we’ll look into workbench plugins, and see if we can come up with some useful tools to help web development with MySQL workbench.

Cheers!

Hi,

I posted links to your blog on the MySQL Workbench forums.

See the Workbench plugins to autogenerate schemas for Propel, Doctrine, Symfony. Would you be able to contibute a plugin to autogenerate schemas for Yii/CActiveRecord?
