Visual Paradigm is pleased to announce the release of DB Visual Architect (DB-VA) 1.0, a powerful, full featured Object Relational Mapping (ORM) toolset that act as a bridge between object model, data model and relational model by automating the mapping between relational rows in a database and object models which can be manipulated by a Java program, and helps realizing UML design to database implementation.

DB-VA 1.0 supports Object Relational Mapping (ORM) and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) extensively. The tool helps generating the persistent Java source code you need to access database(s). It provides multiple database support which allows you to access various database system (MYSQL, Oracle, MS SQL, HSQLDB, Sybase Ó) with the same set of persistent source code. Another feature is the ability to generate database from Class Diagram or ER Diagram. You can design your application with Class Diagram and ER Diagram and generate database table from the resulting diagrams. The tool also facilitate in the reverse engineering of relational database(s). You can reverse engineer legacy database system (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, HypersonicSQL, Pointbase, Sybase, jTDS Ó) to Class Diagram and ERD.

[Moderator note: since OS/2 is not mentioned in the announcement or on the site I contacted the sender and received the following:

"I regret that we do not have any download package specialized for OS/2 or eComStation. But as what you have mentioned, our products are Java apps, therefore you should be able to run it in any Java enabled platform.

At this point, please download our VP-Suite No-install version for Windows.
http://files.visual-paradigm.com/download.php?&path=jick%2F&filename=VP%20Suite.zip

Unzip the file, you will find a VP-UML.bat file from the bin directory of VP-Suite. Open the VP-UML.bat in any text editor, you will find the following statement:

/jreinjava -Xms128m -Xmx512m -cp
".;..libvpplatform.jar;..libjniwrap.jar;..libjhall.jar;..libvpJavaHelp.jar;..libwinpack.jar;..libvpupdate.jar;..libopenapi.jar;..ormliborm.jar"
RV/

Please replace the with your native Java Home directory, copy the whole statement and execute it (remember to execute it in %VP-Suite_Home%/bin directory).

Afterwards, the Enterprise Edition of VP-UML will be started. I regret that the VP-Suite installer is native to platform therefore you are unable to install DB-VA. However, the Enterprise Edition of VP-UML supports all the features in DB-VA. Therefore, you can still try the DB-VA features in VP-UML Enterprise Edition.

If there are any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Jick"]
