Wow, the speed of response on this list is awesome!
My apologies. The documentation is not clear on this and I didn't
explore enough. I was expecting bot "To DB" and "To Model" operations to
appear and didn't realise that I had to change the direction by clicking
the appropriate cell. (By the way, after running the migrate, I might
have to save, close project and open project to see all of the changes -
this was needed after adding a DB table, for example.)
Migrate looks like what I need, much better than re-engineering each
time. My only quibble is that the process is very manual, though that
probably won't be a problem for most changes we do. I have seen the odd
extensive change that we've made and that could take a while to migrate,
though it is very rare. The DB-map comparison is also very slow. This is
not a problem except that Modeler gives no indication that the
comparison is going on - when I click "continue" on the first dialog of
Migrate the dialog disappears and the whole window becomes unresponsive
with no indication that something is happening. It took about a minute
for the operations selection dialog to appear; I thought the application
had frozen.
Thanks for the responses. Migrate looks good.
Cheers,
Tony

Right, so, if you click on "To DB", you should be able to change that
to "To Model", right?
I just tried it... although I was using a snapshot version of the
modeler, so take ti with a grain of salt. :)
