Database Generator in Visio 2007 Professional?

[MTech88]

Hi. I previously used an older version of Visio that was an Architech
edition. It allowed me to generate and update my database from Visio.

I've currently upgraded to Visio 2007 Professional, but I don't see the
"Generate Database" option. I do see the "Reverse Engineer" which I tested
and works fine. I don't think there is a Visio 2007 Architech edition, am I
correct?

I'm using VisualStudio 2008 with SQL2005Express

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That function was dropped by Microsoft, hopefully you still have the older
version of Visio Architect.
sorry

I got tired of hand-coding my DDL from Visio 2007 Diagrams, so I wrote a
script to do it for me. I know it's not perfect. But, it works for me. You
are welcome to try it out at http://aboutwhatever.
net/posts/visio-2007-database-model-ddl-generation. If there is enough
interest, I will look into expanding it's capabilities.
