I have just recently discovered the "Migrate" "Update" capability of EDBMgr.

I have to say it is brilliant. It would have been very easy for me to go through years of using the product without discovering this feature ... which would have been a real shame.

Similarly EDBMgr has a great feature whereby if you drag a table from the treeview in EDBMgr and drop it into a SQL window auto-insert SQL is written to create and populate a table.

Both these features are tremendously useful, neither is really very well documented.

... a couple more technical articles in the support section would be really useful on how to use them.

Be fair EDBManager is just not well documented

Given a choice of documenting ElevateDB which Tim has made a brilliant job of and documenting EDBManager I know which i vote for.

I think this is a point where Wiki would be useful - ability for the community (all of us) to publish material. Peer-review would ensure that Tim has to spend very minimal if any time on this.

Question is whether there is enough content to make it worthwhile and whether it could be added to website (linking to external site would be OK but not as convenient).

EDB Manager has been lacking documentation for a while.  Some of it is made
up for by the in-line descriptions/instructions in the application, but it
definitely needs some basics on where to go for various functionality, for
the reasons that you cite (hidden, non-obvious).

My request for the first documentation would be keystrokes.

I like the idea of a wiki very much.  I'll bet several of us would get in
and add stuff.

Whilst I like the idea I think it would need a little more control and vetting than a film star's bio.

My belief is that all posts should be vetted before making an appearance just to prevent complete and utter bollocks (I know I've posted some of it) making it into "helpful advice for the newbie"
