I'm trying to build my initial ERD of a database containing 4475 Tables.
ER/Studio Data Architect begins the process, but never finishes and eventually gets stuck - "(Not Responding)".
Can someone offer advise and/or assistance.
That's a lot of tables to reverse engineer at once. You may want to try doing your initial Reverse Engineering with a subset of the tables, and then do multiple Compare and Merges to get the rest in subsets as well.
I have the same number of tables and did not encounter any issues using the 64 bit version. I get the not responding but just wait for it.
Can you tell us which of your system resources are under pressure while you do this? And what are the specs of your machine?
System resources is not high but if you click on the ER studio window while it is generating the report that is the time I get the not responding but if you don't click on the app it will not show the not responding.
