Hi, I'm new on the forum.  I have a suggestion, but maybe people have already done this.  If not, I'll try my hand.

SQL converter - you take an existing database and build the basic mORMot  TSqlRecrod stuctures
so the programmer doesn't have to. 

I know one would still have to hand sanitize them to make createtime, modifytime, enums etc, but it would
simplify conversion of existing databases, and be particularly helpful to new converts like myself.

Re: suggestions

There is the beginning of such a tool in SynDBExplorer.
You are welcome, if you want to improve it.

The main issue may be the need of an integer primary key.

Yes, I was looking at exactly that.  My first thought had been to accept msqldump-styled text input, but then I saw syndbexplorer already could learn the database on-the-fly.  I will experiment and get back to the forum when I have something.
