DB Visual ARCHITECT 4.0 SP2 Release Notes
Release Date: May 12, 2007
Reverse DDL to ERD models
A DDL (Data Definition Language) file is a computer language for defining data. Now, you can also use it to generate ERD models like entities, views and relationships by reversing the DDL.
Enrich documentation of model with images
Besides supporting rich text documentation for models and diagrams, you can now further visualize your concept by incorporating images into documentation.
Save/load template for documentation of model
Use documentation template to reuse pre-defined documentation structure to save time and effort.
Modeling with Stored Procedures
Our Entity Relationship Diagram supports visual modeling with stored procedures, you can create and edit stored procedures easily in an intuitive diagramming environment.
Hibernate annotations support in ORM persistence
Our Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) persistence technology generates Java code that helps you manipulate relational database records in an object-oriented way. Now a new option is provided for generating code with Hibernate annotations.
Generate Hibernate version tag for optimistic concurrency control
For Hibernate's optimistic concurrency control to work, you need to add the version tag to mapping files. Here you will learn how to specify the version column in ERD entity so that concurrency control can be implemented in the generated ORM libraries.
Multilingual support in IDE integration
To allow software modelers and developers work together regardlessly of the language they use, our multilingual user interface is further enhanced to cover IDE integration.
Support of Folder Reference
Folder reference enables you to navigate to a specific folder from a model that you assigned the reference to. This feature is similar to file/URL/diagram reference in earlier release.
