DB Visual ARCHITECT (DB-VA) is designed to provide software developers with a powerful tool to develop database applications with ease. It is an ideal solution to design, model, and deploy enterprise-level software systems using sophisticated tools and techniques.
DB-VA saves developers an enormous amount of time when coding SQL and JDBC transparently with Plain Old Java Objects (POJO). The software empowers software designers to perform roundtrip engineering of a relational database into a Class Diagram and an Entity Relationship Diagram and vice versa. It also allows designers to create a database from entity relational models or class models visually on the go.
Another valuable feature of DB-VA is that it 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 features. This increases productivity and significantly reduces the risks of developing the relational mapping layer manually.
DB Visual Architect also enables mapping between Java objects to relational databases by preserving the data, state, foreign/primary key mapping, differences in data type and business logic.
Designed to make working with legacy databases more comfortable, DB-VA allows developers to reverse-engineer database tables through JDBC into UML models. They can then form Class Diagram from the reversed models and redesign the legacy database without pain.
DB Visual Architect enables easy migration between databases and supports transforming proprietary data-type into one that suits the default database specified by the user. It inherits the visual modeling environment from Visual Paradigm for UML, a well-known UML CASE Tool that provides intuitive inline editing for both Class Diagram and ERD.
In the latest release, DB Visual Architect introduces new features and improvements such as automatic ERD generation, the ability to open up alternative views from models or shapes, create translated copies of a model through Nicknamer and Perforce integration. Additionally, Model Transitor was introduced for establishing transition and support traceability between models.
In summary, DB Visual ARCHITECT (DB-VA) is an efficient, feature-rich software development tool, designed for database applications development. It offers an array of valuable features, making it an excellent choice for developers looking to leverage the power of visual modeling and automation in their projects.
