upload database definitions

Hi,

 

I have DDL sql definitions to create database objects. Is it possible to upload these to create Salesforce database objects?

 

thanks

Svidyan

No. You need to create Custom Objects and Fields either through the browser or through the Force.com IDE. I am not aware of any open source tools that do that conversion.

Hi Aalbert,

 

Can you please tell me how can i create custom objects / fields via Force.com IDE (Eclipse).

 

Thanks,

Once you have setup the Force.com Project pointing to your org/environment, right click on the project name, go to New -> Force.com Custom Object. Then you can add in the XML make up for each custom fields (I know...I wish there was a more friendly wizard too!). More information on the custom field definition can be found here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/customfield.htm?SearchType=Stem
