Creating Entity Classes from MS-SQL server database

[pankers]

Is there a quicker way to create the entity classes (from database) using SQL server without having to retrieve every table in the database? it takes all day, I would think there has to be a more streamlined way to do this...all for one table in the database...

Yes, there is.

right click over the module and select "Entity Class from Database", then in a new dialog you have to select your persistence unit and the tables.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do that, from the two radio buttons (Data Source or Database Schema, I chose Data Source and my data source (created earlier).

There are four steps in the dialog.

1. Choose File Type
2. Database Tables <== stuck on this while it pulls all the tables back
3. Entity Classes
4. Mapping Options

I'm stuck on #2 with a Please Wait dialog/progress bar while every table in SQL server is pulled back for me to choose the one I want. Surely there is a way to bypass this process. Is my request clear? Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm explaining it correctly.
