Would it be possible to consider the following enhancements: 1. At present, if you are trying to create a single entity for a single table, the current wizard attempts to list all tables in the schema. With a very large database, eg. PeopleSoft CS8.9, the process of listing all of the tables can take over 30 minutes (at which point I simply closed the app - some no indication of the final time is available). Can a filtering mechanism be introduced similar to Oracle's wizard in JDeveloper - the filtering mechanism would allow you to filter the query used to retrieve the list for a group of tables based on a pattern, hopefully improving retrieval time. The inclusion of related tables would possible need to be reviewed to only query the database for related tables once the filtered items have been selected. Alternately make this the users responsibility. 2. At present, you cannot create an entity for a table that does not contain a primary key. However, there are cases where it would be useful to do this. For example, PeopleSoft does not use the primary key mechanism, only the definition of an index related to the keys. In this case it would still be very useful to jump start coding by having the entity created from the tables. The user can then proceed to add additional annotations manually to the entities to define the virtual primary keys to be used.
