Has anyone found the attribute tables online?
Submitted by alfi1 on Tue, 2005-11-29 09:54.
Dear all,
Since Talis.com has been rejigged, I can't find the prod_talis attribute table documentation. I can't bear working with the paper copy - it feels so 19th century:-))
Has anyone come across it? If so, would you let me have the url? I have found the sub_types in the Developer's Network, so that might give a clue.
Thanks.
Attribute tables
In the Talis Developer Network downloads section is the database analyser.
[url]http://www.talis.com/tdn/customers/docs/alto/art_lm138scr02.pdf[/url]
This application can be run on a PC against the prod_talis database to produce the attribute tables in html format.
As the script runs against a live database it can be rerun when the database changes to produce an updated set of tables.
It also shows database views, stored procedures and the talis data types.
Thanks
URL doesn't seem to work

I would like to download this to get up-to-date tables but when I try the URL I just get 2 lines :

How do I download the database analyser?
Database analyser
That is an out-of-date link dating from 2005.
The link to the file and article are on the http://www.talis.com/tdn/alto_database page.
It is also accessible by searching for database analyser in TDN Search
Thanks

Just to add that you can alos run it against prod_list which is very useful!

Many thanks
Thanks Brian. That is a big improvement over the old pdf.

Didn't the old lists tell you which other tables were linked to a given table - very useful and not in the current script.

Hi - just returned from SQL course and wanted to get a PDF copy of the attribute tables if possible (despite their 19th century feel! ;-))
Anyone know where to download the latest copy?
Attribute tables
The attribute tables as html pages can be built locally against your own prod_talis by using the Database Analyser at http://www.talis.com/tdn/alto_database
For that reason the attribute tables are not published as a pdf as the Database Analyser can then just be rerun to pick up any changes after upgrades.

Thanks Brian - have just downloaded and run the DBAnalyser. Fairly painless process and only took about 5 minutes (even on our rapidly ageing server, which is a minor miracle!)...I'll just have to start writing some SQL now - can't put it off forever I guess! ;)
