Re: Designer/Developer

[Quoted] Hi Eugene,

Thanks for your information.

I just wonder if you can really work with both Designer and Developer during the whole application development.
[Quoted] Isn't it too cumbersome, to design and write your code (stored procedures) with Designer and then generate your application? Does it well support iterative operations? And what happens if you perform modifications with Developer ? Can you then recapture your modifications inside the repository ?
Actually, don't you just Design your database and application with Designer, [Quoted] generate them, and then modify them and make them evolve with Developer (just because it is too cumbersome to carry on managing the whole process: Designing and generating with Designer, testing and Debugging with developer, and then using again Designer for the modifications, etc.).

Thanks,

Sylvie.
