Re: Problems comparing/reverse engineering Informix databases with

Marcos I currently use ERWin (3.5.2 on Informix 7.30) to forward engineer our data model into a physical database, but I have used ERWin (version not known, Informix 7.24) in the past to do reverse engineering from an SQL file to ERwin Informix model and I never had this problem. Just to check I tried reverse engineering our current schema (created using dbschema) into ERWin and it creates SMALLINTs as SMALLINT. I would assume you may be setting some radio button/checkbox wrong (dont you hate these GUIsh things first time you have to do something new?), or something along those lines.

I did a successful reverse engineering of my entire database. After that I decided to compare the generated model and my database for verification. I have found several extrange differences. For example, ERwin interprets the smallint datatype as a text.... Is there any known problem around this combination? Any help is welcome!
