Add user defined data types or domains

Robert Clark 8 years ago updated by Laiba Shahid 2 years ago 10

When creating our databases with thousands of fields we use domains / user data types. This allows us to use a specific defined data type, like "ID Key" for all primary keys, to ensure they are all uniformly the same data type. Additionally it would allow us to change the data types of all the fields that would apply without having to go to each field manually and changing it. This is a must for us to purchase a database modeling product.

Pattern for naming objects

Aleksandra Machewka 9 years ago updated by fed 4 months ago 3
It would be a handy feature to allow user to define patterns for default object names, eg. primary keys. Currently, PK is formed using pattern "{objectName}_pk". Such pattern could be defined by user, having access to variables like {objectName}, {objectNameSingular} (for objects named in plural form). For FK, source and destination object names could be accessible, so user can form default FK name as "FK_{sourceObjectName}_{destinationObjectName}". I'm aware, that this can be done via explicitly naming PKs and FKs, but such feature would be useful when model is big and many relations exist.

Please add autoformating

I'd like to request some minimal auto formatting such as snapping to align tables and/or some other means of automatically arranging the canvas.

It would be very helpful if the folder and files structure can also be shareable. I can share documents but my teammates see them disorganised.

Indicating that the down-scaled table has more columns than are being displayed

Chris Matus 9 years ago updated 9 years ago 2
Some time ago I have reduced the heights of the largest tables in my database model to minimize its size. That way, I have scaled several tables. Many columns in these tables where hidden. Unfortunately, there are no icons within the down-scaled tables indicating that these tables have more columns than are displayed. In my opinion, this is a fundamental feature to know which tables have additional, hidden content. In all other applications, there are relevant icons (usually in the right bottom corner) indicating that the object has more content inside it. It's very important to have such information available, especially when you're working an a huge database model for a long time and it's very likely that you forget which tables were vertically scaled.

Option to hide all references and leave only tables displayed

Patrick Otin 9 years ago updated by Gabe Gates 9 years ago 2
My model is huge and it consists of over 100 tables and twice as more references. The jungle of lines was very confusing for me. Therefore, I deleted all references and used table colors, sizes and positions, as well as subject areas to visualize the structure of my database.
It would be great for me if Vertabelo had an option allowing user to hide all references without deleting them.
The other idea is to allow user to hide all references and show only these ones which are associated with the currently selected table. If no table is selected, all references are hidden but when the cursor is over the table, all references associated with that table are being displayed in gray. If user selects the table, all these references (associated with the table) are shown in normal color (black).
