Hello!

I'm testing the SVNDbLib feature of Altium Designer 14.1.
The database resides on a MySQL-Server and the symbols/footprints are in 
a SVN repository.

The only problem i have is that Add/Edit/Delete Component are not 
available in the Table Browser context menu (as like here: 
http://techdocs.altium.com/display/ADOH/Working+with+Version-Controlled+Database+Libraries#WorkingwithVersion-ControlledDatabaseLibraries-ModifyingaDatabaseTablethroughtheSVNDBLibFile 
).
Thus it seems i have to use an external program to edit components in 
the database, which seems a bit of an overkill to teach a designer if he 
just wants to copy a resistor to get a new value.


Everything is set up according to the instructions found here:
http://techdocs.altium.com/display/ADOH/Using+Components+Directly+from+Your+Company+Database
and the document linked above.

Everything else is up and running, i can place parts, and editing of 
symbols and footprints from the Table Browser in the SVNDbLib-Editor 
works, as well as updating them with the Storage Manager.
I also tested this with an xls-file for the database using a DbLib and a 
SVNDbLib.

Any comments are higly appreciated!
Martin

If anybody is experiencing the same problem:

Editing the database in Altium's Table Browser is only available with an 
Access-Database. Connections to other databases are read-only.

There is another Issue: even with an access db Library is only editing 
of former existent parts available. But it's impossible (testet witch 
AD10 + AD13) to add a new component. For this it's needed to do it in MS 
Access.

Are new versions better than this?

Hi

We have also an setup with a MySQL Database in the background.
It is correct, that you cannot edit/remove/add components within altium 
itself.

We have created an own Website for these things.
On this site, we can add/remove/edit all components and we have an 
integrated wizard which guides you through the process of the component 
creation.
