Does anyone have or know of a repo that has a dbd file with most or all of the record definitions to build DB files in VisualDCT?

Every site and potentially every IOC could use a different combination of record types, so I don’t think a community-wide file is likely to be terribly useful. If your IOCs are based on the synApps collection you could probably take the DBD file for the xxx IOC module and use that, but if not you’ll have to generate your own for your particular set of modules.

One complication is if/when new version of a support module containing a record type gets added that has new fields added which version do you use? That’s why I generally recommend using the DBD file for the specific IOC that you’re designing the database for.
