I need to do a component for an existing DB architecture.

most ID name are like tablenameId (categoryId for exemple) so it will be nice to be able to specify the name of this field.

Also, it can be nice if I can build the component with a check box ignoring the SQL file from the build when checked. (to not overwrite my existing database on installation.

Kudos for the second suggestion especially - big +1. When Downloading a Component after Build to have option to perform 'upgrade' maybe rather than 'install' ? So that Tables are not clobbered each time the Component is modified, and installed in Jooomla!.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
