I just ran the Dependency tracker and while it looks great there appears to be no help file.

:?: I am confused by some of the dependency lines circling back from a table to itself. There needs to be a "right click" option to give detail about a given dependency line. In the right had grid I see these same "circular references" but no way to see the detail as to what they actually represent.

Thanks,

    Hi Gary,

    You're quite right, there's no help file at this time - apologies.

    In the final release you shold indeed be able to see more details about dependencies from an object. Some of the self-referencing circular dependencies you see are caused by the fact that, by default, we hide constraints (such as foreign keys, indexes, and check constraints) and instead show them as dependency lines rather than separate objects.

    If you'd like to see these as objects rather than dependency lines, you can click the button near the far right of the bottom toolbar to uncheck it: "Show Constraints as Dependencies". This option is also available from the View menu's Options dialog.

    Hope this is of some help,

    Regards,

    Dan

    Will there be another round of beta release for us to see this expanded dependency info?

    Hi Gary,

    I'm afraid there will only be one round of beta testing. On the plus side, it's because our release date is all the closer as a result!

    All the best,

    Dan
