Visual Paradigm DBVA for Eclipse is a Database design plug-in tightly integrated with Eclipse.

The plug-in provides ORM support that realizes UML design to relational database implementation.DBVA for Eclipse is a database design plug-in.

Just draw a Class Diagram for the system, and you can generate the required database tables and persistent source code for database manipulation.

If you are already maintaining software that accesses relational database, you don t need to start everything from scratch.

Just follow a step-by-step wizard and the tool will generate the necessary source code for manipulating the target database in an object-oriented approach.

DBVA for Visual Studio (DBVA-VS) is the tool that provides the solution to develop database applications. DBVA-VS is an Object-Relational Mapping tool which provides an easy-to-use environment bridging between object model, data model and relational database.

DBVA-VS not only provides you visual modeling for both logical data design and physical data design, but also automates the mapping between object model and data model.

Developers save enormous amounts of time using DBVA-VS to manage the coding of SQL and JDBC transparently with Plain Old Java Objects (POJO), as DBVA for Visual Studio is capable of reverse engineering a relational
database into a Class Diagram and an Entity Relationship Diagram and vise versa (create a database from entity relational models or class models).

DBVA for Visual Studio also generates a cost-effective, reliable, scalable and high-performance object to relational mapping layer. The generated mapping layer includes the support of transaction, cache and other optimized feature. DBVA for Visual Studio increases the productivity and reduces the risk of developing the mapping layer manually significantly.

Here are some key features of "DBVA .NET Edition for Visual Studio":

· Persistence Made Easy
· Sophisticated Object-Relational Mapping Generator
· Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Support
· Model Driven Development
· Extensive Database Coverage
· Reverse Database Engineering
· Visual Modeling for Object and Data Models

DBVA for Visual Studio Professional Edition is the tool that provides the solution to develop database applications..

Persistence Made Easy
Traditionally developers spend a lot of effort in saving and loading objects between memory and database which makes the program complicated and difficult to maintain. DBVA-VS simplifies these tasks by generating a persistence layer between object and data models.

Sophisticated Object-Relational Mapping Generator
DBVA-VS generates object-relational mapping layer which incorporates prime features such as transaction support, pluggable cache layer, connection pool and customizable SQL statement. With this mapping layer, developers can keep away from mundane implementation work and focus on the business requirements.

Model Driven Development
DBVA-VS provides a true model driven platform for application development. DBVA-VS allows developer not only to start from creating the models using class diagram or entity relationship diagram and generate the executable persistence layer from the models, but also to modify the entity-relational model which is from reversed engineered an existing database, transform into object model and generate persistence layer. With the sophisticated model-code generator, the persistent model will be updated automatically according to any modification.

Extensive Database Coverage
DBVA-VS supports a wide range of database, including Oracle, DB2, Cloudscape/Derby, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and more. DBVA-VS also promotes an easy migration between databases by enabling the same set of ORM Java objects to work with different databases and transforms the proprietary data type that suit the default database specified.

Reverse Database Engineering
DBVA-VS allows you to reverse engineering an existing database through JDBC into the entity-relational model. Developers can transform the entity-relational model to object model and redesign the database for further development.

Visual Modeling for Object and Data Models
DBVA-VS inherits the visual modeling environment from Visual Paradigm for UML, a well-known UML CASE Tool, it not only provides an intuitive inline editing for both object and data models, but also adopts the resource-centric interface for assisting frequently performed tasks
