RE: ERD for Synon db without Synon?

Paul, Carel, 

Thanks for mentioning the QSQGNDDL API. I found the Midrange Guru article at
http://www.itjungle.com/mgo/mgo060502-story01.html

Barring any prebuilt applications that can do this, I believe this is
suitable for me to crank out the DDL. I'll probably throw it at SQL Server
Enterprise Manager so I can define the relationships.

Thanks,
Loyd

Lloyd,

An example that uses this API (RPG IV) can be found at www.itjungle.com. It
was written by Ted Holt,and was published with the Guru-newsletter a couple
of months ago. Unfortunately, I cannot  recall the date.
