Hi Alex,
I like the circularlity of that [image]
I'm afraid this release won't have a command line or public API a la our toolkit. But your and others' comments in this arena have been duly noted. It's interesting to me how much more people want to do with Dependency Tracker. This is bound to impact our future releases of the product.
Cheers,
Dan

We did want to add a count of objects in the database and on the diagram - sadly this is one of the small features that hasn't made this release. It's on the list for next time though!

Hi Jon,
Thanks for that. That's a serious database.
Bugs in the beta aside, I can be honest and say you're working with an order of magnitude more objects at a time than we anticipated. I'd be interested to know how many people have to deal with such large schemas. We may need to try and squeeze in some optimisation to make things a bit more quicker for people in your position.
You're quite right, orthogonal is lousy for such a gargantuan number of objects. It's an interesting view for smaller datasets, but we wouldn't recommend it for schemas of the magnitude you've got to deal with. That's probably not going to change for the final release. Perhaps we should make it a bit more obvious that some layouts are a Bad Plan for huge numbers of objects.
Sounds like you're looking to analyse and record the impact of a potential change - this is one of the key (if not the key) tasks we're aiming to make easy with SQL Dependency Tracker. Perhaps you'd take a look at my post on this thread, and see what you think: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... php?t=2086

Hi Jon,
As another work around, in the beta it's possible to avoid this CPU thrashing after having added all objects to your project by clicking one in the Objects on Diagram list first, before you click on the diagram itself. The bug in question manifests when you select or deselect a large number of objects using either the diagram itself or the toolbar buttons. If you do your selection from the Objects on Diagram list (eg. Ctrl-A to select all) then it doesn't show up.
As Bart says, this is a dumb bug and, rest assured, this will certainly be fixed for the final release. In our latest test builds it's already gone. Thanks for reporting it tho, and for your patience with the beta!
All the best,

Hi Dan,
Thanks for that. I'll make a note, since as and if we added support for column specific dependency tracking, that'd be a good feature to add.

Hi alzdba,
You're quite right, it's not straightforward in the beta. The best you can do to hide a type in the beta is probably to click the "Type" column in the Objects on Diagram pane to group by type, and then to hide an entire type drag your mouse up or down the visibility column (unchecking the check boxes). Or with focus on the Objects on Diagram pane press Ctrl-A to select all, hit Hide on the toolbar, then do the process above to Show a particular type.
In the final release we're aiming to allow you to select by type much more easily, so this should become rather more straightforward! Sorry about the hassle in the meantime.
All the best,

Hi Matthew,
There is an option to show full names for objects and databases under the View menu, but in the Beta version it isn't fully functional. In the final release this will toggle full names for all panes and the diagram, which hopefully will give you what you need.
Thanks, and all the best,

Hi nigwil,
Thanks for reporting this. This is a bug; for the final version, panels will either not be dockable or will have more sensible behaviour. Sorry about that.

Hi dwainew,
Thanks for your feedback. At Red Gate we try and maintain a very high standard of product documentation. We have a lot going on now with such releases as SQL Bundle version 5, and so our master documenters are having to prioritise their efforts towards our final releases.
It would have been great to have docs out with the beta. I apologise if that makes it hard for you to figure out what does what. Do post any questions in that regard to this forum and we'll do our best to answer them.
Regards,

Hi nigwil,
There is a tooltip over the '!' warning triangle. Perhaps a tooltip on the line as a whole might be more helpful.
