PowerDesigner中name属性与comment属性相互转换

在使用PowerDesigner对数据库进行概念模型和物理模型设计时，一般在NAME或Comment中写中文，在Code中写英文。Name用来显 示，Code在代码中使用，但Comment中的文字会保存到数据库Table或Column的Comment中，当Name已经存在的时候，再写一次 Comment很麻烦，可以使用以下代码来解决这个问题。

代码一:将Name中的字符COPY至Comment中

Option   Explicit
ValidationMode   =   True
InteractiveMode   =   im_Batch

Dim   mdl   '   the   current   model

'   get   the   current   active   model
Set   mdl   =   ActiveModel
If   (mdl   Is   Nothing)   Then
MsgBox   "There   is   no   Active   Model "
ElseIf   Not   mdl.IsKindOf(PdPDM.cls_Model)   Then
MsgBox   "The   current   model   is   not   an   Physical   Data   model. "
Else
ProcessFolder   mdl
End   If

'   This   routine   copy   name   into   comment   for   each   table,   each   column   and   each   view
'   of   the   current   folder
Private   sub   ProcessFolder(folder)
Dim   Tab   'running     table
for   each   Tab   in   folder.tables
if   not   tab.isShortcut   then
tab.comment   =   tab.name
Dim   col   '   running   column
for   each   col   in   tab.columns
col.comment=   col.name
next
end   if
next

Dim   view   'running   view
for   each   view   in   folder.Views
if   not   view.isShortcut   then
view.comment   =   view.name
end   if
next

'   go   into   the   sub-packages
Dim   f   '   running   folder
For   Each   f   In   folder.Packages
if   not   f.IsShortcut   then
ProcessFolder   f
end   if
Next
end   sub

注意：如果不想把以前写的注释给覆盖掉 ，那么把上面的红色标记处 改成： col.comment= col.name + col.comment 那么注释就是追加的了

另外在使用REVERSE ENGINEER从数据库反向生成PDM的时候，PDM中的表的NAME和CODE事实上都是CODE，为了把NAME替换为数据库中Table或Column的中文Comment，可以使用以下脚本：

代码二:将Comment中的字符COPY至Name中

Option   Explicit
ValidationMode   =   True
InteractiveMode   =   im_Batch

Dim   mdl   '   the   current   model

'   get   the   current   active   model
Set   mdl   =   ActiveModel
If   (mdl   Is   Nothing)   Then
MsgBox   "There   is   no   Active   Model "
ElseIf   Not   mdl.IsKindOf(PdPDM.cls_Model)   Then
MsgBox   "The   current   model   is   not   an   Physical   Data   model. "
Else
ProcessFolder   mdl
End   If

Private   sub   ProcessFolder(folder)
On Error Resume Next
Dim   Tab   'running     table
for   each   Tab   in   folder.tables
if   not   tab.isShortcut   then
tab.name   =   tab.comment
Dim   col   '   running   column
for   each   col   in   tab.columns
if col.comment="" then
else
col.name=   col.comment
end if
next
end   if
next

Dim   view   'running   view
for   each   view   in   folder.Views
if   not   view.isShortcut   then
view.name   =   view.comment
end   if
next

'   go   into   the   sub-packages
Dim   f   '   running   folder
For   Each   f   In   folder.Packages
if   not   f.IsShortcut   then
ProcessFolder   f
end   if
Next
end   sub

以上两段代码都是VB脚本，在PowerDesigner中使用方法为：

PowerDesigner->Tools->Execute Commands->Edit/Run Scripts

将代码Copy进去执行就可以了，是对整个CDM或PDM进行操作
