DB Visual ARCHITECT for Windows

DB Visual ARCHITECT (DB-VA) is a modeling software that offers a user-friendly environment for designing both database and object-oriented static structure with zero learning curve. Unlike other modeling tools, DB-VA can not only generate but also reverse database and DDL. With DB-VA, users can focus on developing business logic and user interface without bothering about database problems. The persistence layer of DB-VA is built on top of the most popular persistence layer, Hibernate. This means there is no vendor lock when adopting DB-VA, and all generated code can run on popular relational databases and application servers such as MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, JBoss, and WebLogic Server.

Users can benefit from using DB-VA to design database models with Entity Relationship Diagrams and object-oriented models with UML Class Diagrams. They can generate and synchronize between the two diagrams effortlessly. DB-VA supports generating Hibernate (both XML and annotation), POJO, DAO, Factory, Static method style persistence Java code, Database Schema (DDL), and reversing engineering of ERD from DDL. Users can increase the readability of database diagrams with Nicknamer, which changes the name used to refer to an entity multiple times. DB-VA also supports modeling collaboratively with VP Teamwork Server, CVS, SVN, Perforce, and interoperability with UML2 model through XMI.

Furthermore, users can export diagrams to JPG, PNG, SVG, EMF, PDF, and generate advanced reports. In summary, DB-VA offers a reliable solution for designing Oracle databases with ERD, reverse engineering Oracle databases to ERD, and generating Oracle databases and Hibernate mapping.
