Powerdesigner逆向工程生成PDM时的列注释(ColumnComment)解决方案

在用powerdesigner逆向工程生成PDM时，列注释(ColumnComment)始终无法生成，历经数小时的探索，找到一个折衷的方法，现分享如下。并希望有高手指点更好的方法。

邀月使用的是Powerdesigner 15.2，数据库为SQL Server 2008 r2

方法如下：

1、在PowerDesigner界面－File-Reverse Engineer－Database,然后选择一个DBMS,我这里选取一个由系统默认的SQL Server 2008 DBMS修改而来的SQL_2008_MyDefine。

选好odbc，输入正确的连接串，选择数据库及表。

生成效果：Name为英文，且Comment列为空。

而我们希望的是Name列为中文，Comment为中文。

查看了下在线帮助，发现在SQL_2008_MyDefine::Script\Objects\Column\SqlListQuery下的Value值如下：

{OWNER, TABLE, S, COLUMN, DTTPCODE, LENGTH, SIZE, PREC, COMPUTE, NOTNULL, IDENTITY, DOMAIN, DEFAULT, ExtIdentitySeedInc, COMMENT, ExtCollation, ExtIdtNotForReplication, ExtDeftConstName, Sparse, FileStream, ExtRowGuidCol}select u.name,
o.name,
c.column_id,
c.name,case when c.system_type_id in (165, 167, 231) and c.max_length = -1 then t.name + '(Max)' else t.name end,
c.precision,case (c.max_length) when -1 then 0 else case when c.system_type_id in (99, 231, 239) then (c.max_length/2) else (c.max_length) end end as colnA,
c.scale,case(c.is_computed) when 1 then convert(varchar(8000), (select z.definition from [%CATALOG%.]sys.computed_columns z where z.object_id = c.object_id and z.column_id = c.column_id)) else '' end as colnB,case(c.is_nullable) when 1 then 'NULL' else 'NOTNULL' end,case(c.is_identity) when 1 then 'identity' else '' end,case when(c.user_type_id <> c.system_type_id) then (select d.name from [%CATALOG%.]sys.types d where d.user_type_id = c.user_type_id) else '' end as colnC,convert(varchar(8000), d.definition),case (c.is_identity) when 1 then convert(varchar, i.seed_value) + ', ' + convert(varchar, i.increment_value) else '' end as colnD,
(select convert(varchar(8000), value) from ::fn_listextendedproperty(NULL, 'user', u.name, 'table', o.name, 'column', c.name) where name = 'MS_Description') as colnE,
c.collation_name,case (i.is_not_for_replication) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,
d.name,case(c.is_sparse) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,case(c.is_filestream) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,case(c.is_rowguidcol) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end from [%CATALOG%.]sys.columns cjoin [%CATALOG%.]sys.objects o on (o.object_id = c.object_id)join [%CATALOG%.]sys.schemas u on (u.schema_id = o.schema_id)join [%CATALOG%.]sys.types t on (t.user_type_id = c.system_type_id)left outer join [%CATALOG%.]sys.identity_columns i on (i.object_id = c.object_id and i.column_id = c.column_id)left outer join [%CATALOG%.]sys.default_constraints d on (d.object_id = c.default_object_id)where o.type in ('U', 'S', 'V')[ and u.name = %.q:OWNER%] [ and o.name=%.q:TABLE%] order by 1, 2, 3

注意该值中上面是PDM对应的列名，下面是从SQL数据库中取到的相关属性值。其中“

(select convert(varchar(8000), value) from 
::fn_listextendedproperty(NULL, 'user', u.name, 'table', o.name, 'column', c.name) where name = 'MS_Description') as colnE, 

”是可以取到Comment值的，可是生成的PDM为什么Comment列为空呢？尝试修改该SQL语句，将语句提取出来，也可以获取结果：

View Code

select u.name,
o.name,
c.column_id,
c.name,case when c.system_type_id in (165, 167, 231) and c.max_length = -1 then t.name + '(Max)' else t.name end,
c.precision,case (c.max_length) when -1 then 0 else case when c.system_type_id in (99, 231, 239) then (c.max_length/2) else (c.max_length) end end as colnA,
c.scale,case(c.is_computed) when 1 then convert(varchar(8000), (select z.definition from sys.computed_columns z where z.object_id = c.object_id and z.column_id = c.column_id)) else '' end as colnB,case(c.is_nullable) when 1 then 'NULL' else 'NOTNULL' end,case(c.is_identity) when 1 then 'identity' else '' end,case when(c.user_type_id <> c.system_type_id) then (select d.name from sys.types d where d.user_type_id = c.user_type_id) else '' end as colnC,convert(varchar(8000), d.definition),case (c.is_identity) when 1 then convert(varchar, i.seed_value) + ', ' + convert(varchar, i.increment_value) else '' end as colnD,
(select convert(varchar(8000), value) from ::fn_listextendedproperty(NULL, 'user', u.name, 'table', o.name, 'column', c.name) where name = 'MS_Description') as colnE,
c.collation_name,case (i.is_not_for_replication) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,
d.name,case(c.is_sparse) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,case(c.is_filestream) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end,case(c.is_rowguidcol) when 1 then 'true' else 'false' end from sys.columns cjoin sys.objects o on (o.object_id = c.object_id)join sys.schemas u on (u.schema_id = o.schema_id)join sys.types t on (t.user_type_id = c.system_type_id)left outer join sys.identity_columns i on (i.object_id = c.object_id and i.column_id = c.column_id)left outer join sys.default_constraints d on (d.object_id = c.default_object_id)where o.type in ('U', 'S', 'V')and u.name =N'dbo' and o.name=N'Age' order by 1, 2, 3

后来发现，直接用生成表的SQL，而不是用数据库就可以生成注释。如下图：

但字段类型全乱了。

难道Powerdesigner真的这么弱吗？google了一下，看到官方文档：

http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-pd/pdd1100e/advanced/@Generic__BookTextView/1302;hf=0

里面有关于SqlListQuery的解释。

再看看上面的SQL语句，突然想到，既然可以在SQL查询出结果，那么出错一定在生成PDM的时候，

在SQL_2008_MyDefine::Script\Objects\Column中看到这么一段:

The following system variables are available:
(parent table items are also available for columns)
   "COLNNAME"     // name of the column    "COLNCODE"     // code of the column

将上面的Value值中上面的一行中“Comment”修改为“COLNNAME”会如何？即

{OWNER, TABLE, S, COLUMN, DTTPCODE, LENGTH, SIZE, PREC, COMPUTE, NOTNULL, IDENTITY, DOMAIN, DEFAULT, ExtIdentitySeedInc, COMMENT, ExtCollation, ExtIdtNotForReplication, ExtDeftConstName, Sparse, FileStream, ExtRowGuidCol}改为

{OWNER, TABLE, S, COLUMN, DTTPCODE, LENGTH, SIZE, PREC, COMPUTE, NOTNULL, IDENTITY, DOMAIN, DEFAULT, ExtIdentitySeedInc, COLNNAME, ExtCollation, ExtIdtNotForReplication, ExtDeftConstName, Sparse, FileStream, ExtRowGuidCol}

结果生成如下：

同理将SQL_2008_MyDefine::Script\Objects\Table\SqlListQuery下的Value的第一行中

{OWNER, TABLE, TABLE_TYPE, Comment}的Comment改为{OWNER, TABLE, TABLE_TYPE, TNAME}

生成结果，如下：

 

至此，我的基本目的，已经达到了，虽然没有直接生成Comment列，但可以通过以下vbs脚本，从Name列生成Comment列：

仔细思索：为什么从SQL生成的脚本有Comment,可是到生成PDM时为什么没有转化成功呢？是否Comment名称不对应？

于是将原来的COMMENT加上COLNNAME，同时在下面的SQL语句中增加一列与COMMENT相同的值：

(select convert(varchar(8000), value) from ::fn_listextendedproperty(NULL, 'user', u.name, 'table', o.name, 'column', c.name) where name = 'MS_Description') as colnF,

如下图：

这样，Name列和Comment同时生成，终于OK！
