Dictionary to SQL Templates
This template, a series of utility templates that use the Clarion dictionary as the source document for SQL databases. What this means is that you open any application that is using the dictionary you need an SQL version.
For example, you want to make an MS SQL database that reflects the business rules in your dictionary. Run the utility template and it generates the needed scripts to create the tables, indices, and constraints in a database. Once generated, simply run the resulting scripts in the SQL Query Analyzer. When done, you have a database populated with
empty tables, indices and constraints built in.
You may re-use this template as often as testing of the design requires. Make the changes in the dictionary, and regenerate the scripts. The complete documentation is embedded as comments inside the template. The template used here is the Dct2MSSQL_Russell_B_Eggen utility template. Many thanks to Roberto Artigas for compiling this work.
