With respect to this from your web site,

LLBLGen Pro saves developers a lot of time, up to over 50% of a total project's development time, and lets them focus on the real deal: business logic code, instead of having them hammer out an endless list of almost the same routines. You design your database schema's with the abstract modelling tools you always use (for example a NIAM/ORM designer like Visio, or an E/R modeller), and LLBLGen Pro takes care of the rest. All you have to do next is modify some of the names LLBLGen Pro has given entities and fields if necessary, and generate code.

We have a schema from a tool that makes a DDL which will generate and modify a database. Is it possible to use LLBL's tool to build entities from that instead of from the DB directly.

Does the toole generate DDL SQL that you run later in or does it directly update the database schema?

From my understanding, it generates a DDL which our DBA would then apply to the database. (We are evaluating the product). We'd like to be able to work on the schema before the Database is updated. Basically point LLBL to the DDL and have it update the entitites.

I'm afraid that's not available, you might need to consider the following as a work around.

• Create a script that updates the database automatically from the generated DDL SQL, then it can also use the LLBLGen Pro Command Line Refresher to automatically refresh the LLBLGen project.
