Release Date: May 12, 2007
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.
Besides supporting rich text documentation for models and diagrams, you can now further visualize your concept by incorporating images into documentation.
Use documentation template to reuse pre-defined documentation structure to save time and effort.
Our Entity Relationship Diagram supports visual modeling with stored procedures, you can create and edit stored procedures easily in an intuitive diagramming environment.
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.
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.
To allow software modelers and developers work together regardlessly of the language they use, our multilingual user interface is enhanced to cover SDE.
Instant generator allows you to generate source code for many popular programming languages. Now this feature is enhanced to support Ada 95.
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.
Instant generator allows you to generate source code for many popular programming languages, including Flash ActionScript. Now this feature is enhanced to support ActionScript version 3.0.
