ORM Designer review by Stephen Hird
Summary
ORM, that magical acronym that can send developers into a flurry of excitement, or the rolling eyes of grief. Since I focus mainly on the open source areas, examining an ORM tool will be limited to the PHP view and aspect. I specifically look for more of an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) type of tool that can help me visualize and document the data objects. One of the things I like about this product, is the ability to pull in Symfony (or non framework ORM) projects, and the application is deciphered. And it was successful to write this over to the /sym/config/schema.yml Now all I need to do is run my propel scripts again, rebuild all the objects, build the DB, and the insert the fixtures and update any forms that were altered to include the new fields.
