<b>How can I produce a PDF schema of my database?</b>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
First you have to fill the 'relation' and 'table_coords'
|
||||
First you have to fill the 'relation', 'table_coords' and 'pdf_pages'
|
||||
configuration variables.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
Then, think about your schema layout: which tables will go on which pages.
|
||||
You have to fill in the 'relation' table the page number for each
|
||||
master-foreign link.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
A table may be displayed on more that one page, depending on how many
|
||||
links it has to other tables.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
Then manually fill the table_coords table with the page number and
|
||||
the coordinates, x being the width and y the height, and (0,0) at the upper
|
||||
left corner.
|
||||
For example, x=100 and y=200 means that the table will be at 200 mm down
|
||||
and 100 mm right from the upper left corner.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
To generate the output, click on your database name, then choose
|
||||
'Structure' and 'Display PDF schema', and enter the page number.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click on your db name in the left frame</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Structure" in the navigation on top</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Edit PDF Pages" which should be somewhere at the bottom of the page</li>
|
||||
<li>Enter the name for a first pdf page and submit</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose this page to edit</li>
|
||||
<li>Now add a table you want to show on this page and it's coordinates and submit<br />
|
||||
First you will have to guess this coordinates of course, so just
|
||||
expect to have an area of about 297 * 210 and put the tables coordinates somewhere
|
||||
in there, you will be able to have a look at what happened and change them later.<br />
|
||||
For example, x=100 and y=200 means that the table will be at 200 mm down
|
||||
and 100 mm right from the upper left corner.</li>
|
||||
<li>After every table you submitted you will have the possibility to submit more tables</li>
|
||||
<li>When you have entered enough tables Click on your db name in the left frame again</li>
|
||||
<li>Now, again at the bottom of the page you should be able to choose "Display PDF schema"<br />
|
||||
For testing it might be useful to show the Grid as well, so you can see the coordinates used<br />
|
||||
maybe also choose Color and submit.</li>
|
||||
<li>Save the file he will offer you to something like Schema.pdf (Internet Explorer has some Bug there
|
||||
which might make it offer it without an extension. Under Windows it is important to have the Extension
|
||||
.pdf, in under OS you should be fine just saving the file under the name it offers)</li>
|
||||
|
||||
in the navigation on top</li>
