    I don’t see it… what’s wrong with the menu?

  2. Check the 1st and the 2nd lines – Rich vs Reach

    There are two versions of SQL that can be generated… “Rich” and “Reach”. As (I think) I understand it, “Rich SQL Preview” (Ctrl+D, R) is the equivalent of compiling with a “TSql10″ target and “Reach SQL Preview” (Ctrl+D, S) is the equivalent of compiling with a target of “Repository”. The former “Compiles ‘M’ models into SQL Server database objects without applying ‘Oslo’ repository design patterns” and the latter “Compiles ‘M’ models into SQL Server database objects that conform to ‘Oslo’ repository design patterns” (from the MSDN documentation).

    I’m not sure why the “Rich” vs. “Reach” nomenclature difference.

    • I do agree that there are 2 different SQL outputs, but the wording really kills me ;-) I would never use (and would not recommend to anyone) such ambiguous expressions in the same context.

      BTW: According to the PDC videos this menu looks 100% different in the next IntelliPad release. Let’s wait and see … :-)
