Within ER/Studio Data Architect, we have the option to view one tab for each opened project or to hide these tabs.
In this post, I’ll share a macro that allows us to toggle the display of project tabs.

Last week, I shared some scripts to automatically bind custom properties from an Enterprise Data Dictionary, to specific ER Objects.
Today, I’ll share some scripts which use the Team Server REST API to get the attributes of an entity or the columns of a table with their attachments & security properties, in order to display all these information in a custom page.
Howdy! In today's blog post we will carry on with the actual setup and scripts needed to create the repository user and the instructions for IDERA...
This is the third post regarding the binding of custom properties to specific ER objects.
In this one, we’ll support some new ER objects (Models, Submodels, Business Data Objects) and we’ll filter the types of ER objects that can be bound to each Attachment Type.
Even more importantly, we’ll also integrate the Data Security Information so it can also be automatically bound to their relative ER Objects.
Howdy! In this short blog post, we shall explore on how to create a Pluggable database for our teamserver database Here are the SQL*Plus commands to...
This post follows the previous one, “Macros – Add custom properties to specific objects”, where we shared scripts to automatically bind Attachments to ER Objects.
In this one, we will share new versions of the different scripts that allow using shared Attachments for various types of ER Objects (instead of duplicating them for each ER Object), and also support Relationships and Views.
Sometimes, you may need to specify custom properties for various objects such as Entities, Tables, Attributes, etc.
The macros I’ll be sharing in this post, allow us to:
– Export the attachments from the current project
– Import attachments from an Excel Workbook
– Bind the attachments to specific objects (Entities, etc.).
A script that imports a particular diagrams.net XML file (formerly draw.io) including specific Data used to retrieve the properties required to create the Entity Relationship Diagram.
Using the data modeling features of ER/Studio Data Architect we can create automatic and customized data model diagrams. ER/Studio Data Architect provides functionality such as automatic layouts, custom colors and fonts for our objects, and relationship line control.
To make our model more attractive and easier to read, we can change the background, outline, and font colors along with the font type entities/tables, attributes/columns, views, and relationships in our data model. We can use specific colors and/or fonts to help us organize our data model.
In this blog post, I’ll share a macro which shows how to manage the colors from a script. With the macro, we can search for a string and colorize the attributes and columns which match the string.
Are you ready to streamline your data management processes effortlessly?

We are thrilled to announce the release of our latest video guide: “ER/Studio MetaWizard Import/Export Bridges – Quick Start Video Guide.”
This tutorial guides you through the process of setting up IDERA ER/Studio Repository on a Microsoft SQL Server. It is essential to ensure that the SQL Server environment is correctly configured to support ER/Studio Repository.
ER/Studio Data Architect provides an important navigation feature called Submodels.
In this post, I’ll share a macro which can be used to add|remove the relationships to|from the submodels.
In this post, I’ll be sharing a macro based on this sample, updated to switch the bindings for all the domains included in the source dictionary and available in the target data dictionary (with the same name). If there’s no domain with the same name in the target data dictionary, the domain binding will remain unchanged.
For instance, if you intend to replace the domain bindings from the local data dictionary with those included in an Enterprise Data Dictionary.
With Team Server, you can easily manage your Business Glossaries and Terms. You can directly create them in Team Server or you can synchronize them with Collibra.
In this post, I’ll share a video which shows how to export your Definitions and Notes from ER/Studio Data Architect, edit them with Excel, and finally import the updated Definitions and Notes back to ER/Studio Data Architect.

ER/Studio Data Architect supports programmatic event handling.
To better understand when these events are triggered, I’ll share an updated script of the sample macro: ERSBasicHandlers.bas
Moreover, I’ll also share a second macro which speaks the definition of the selected entities|tables.
In a previous post, we have seen how to schedule a reverse engineering of a database using a macro and a quick launch file.
Likewise, I’ll share a macro which also uses the reverse engineer function, through the DiagramManager.ReverseEngineerObject.
However, instead of using a quick launch file, the macro directly extracts the connection settings from an Excel workbook.
Many different models and notations are supported by ER/Studio Data Architect. A model has one of these 2 model notations: Relational or Dimensional.
When we use a Dimensional diagram, there’s an additional tab available in the Table editor, Dimensional, where we can select the Dimensional Model Table Type and the Table Type and Data Architect updates how the diagram objects are displayed.
In this blog post, I’ll share a macro which replaces the Dimensional Model Table Type and the Table Type for all the Tables|Entities or a selected subset.
When we use ER/Studio Data Architect, we can create Submodels to document specific metadata.
For example, we can create Submodels to manage our Conceptual Data Model, to display the datatypes and Null option, or to show the Attachments and Data Security Information bound to the Entities | Tables.
In this blog post, I’ll share 2 different macros which can also export|import the entity and attribute attachment binding information to|from Excel.
