DB Visual ARCHITECT 3.2 SP2 Release Notes

Release Date: September 4, 2006

Enhancements for Various Trees

Starting from DB-VA 3.2 Service Pack 2, you can create a new diagram in Diagram Tree with the 'New Diagram' dialog box. And the 'New Model' dialog box is introduced for enhancement of model creation. You can also manipulate the model for their specific context in Model Tree or Class Repository Tree.

Duplicate Relationship

Normally the specification of relationship contains a set of values and those values are similar when creating a new relationship. In order to reduce those user actions for setting similar values of relationship, Duplicate Relationship is introduced. With Duplicate Relationship, all values within relationship's specification, such as Stereotypes and Tagged Values, are reused.

Package Header Support for All Diagrams

Package Header was a feature for creating a package to hold models within a diagram in a fast and direct way. With Package Header, you just need to type in the package name inside the header field of the diagram, a package model will then be created, and the models inside the diagram will be included in the package automatically.

Database view support

A view is a virtual table in the database which facilitate subset the data contained in a table, joining multiple tables into a single virtual view, acting as a aggregated tables which showing the calculated fields also hiding the complexity of the data. In DB-VA 3.2 SP2, we do one step forward which support reverse engineer views from the database and generating Object-Relational Mapping source code for querying the view. We also support generating views into database from the diagrams.
