Hi,

I am considering using llblgen pro for a new project that I am starting. I plan to develop the database incrementally. In other words I am not trying to define the entire schema in the beginning, but I will let it evolve as new business logic is added to the application.

Does this tool lend itself well to iterative database development? I did download the demo version, but unfortunately my 30 days expired before I had much chance to explore the iterative nature of the tool. It seems like most of what I read has to do with working with a given definition of the schema in the designer, and doesn't address the workflow of a constantly changing schema (unless I missed those articles).

So I wanted to pose this question to the community that uses this tool - I'm curious as to your feedback in using this tool in an iterative manner.

Thanks very much. Beth

LLBLGen Pro works very well in this scenario - you simply refresh the schema, regenerate and you're good to go.

It handles most database changes (adding and removing columns and tables etc) very well. It will occasionally get tripped up by a table or column rename, but it is usually the work of a few moments to sort it out.

If you ask Aglaia at info@llblgen.com nicely she'll probably sort out an extension to the trial for you to let you try for your self.
