Hockware VisPro Database Designer

Description

With VisPro/REXX Gold, VisPro/C, VisPro/C++, or VisPro/Reports, you automatically get the VisPro Database Designer. The Database Designer allows you to visually create database applications for ODBC-enabled databases from scratch or reverse-engineer an existing database into a database diagram. Because it is a visual tool, you can print and view complex databases using Entity/Relationship (E/R) diagrams. This allows you to quickly pinpoint logical design problems with your database application so you can correct them easily and accurately. The Database Designer supports DB2/2, Watcom SQL, and all ODBC-enabled databases.

The SQL syntax builder (not available with VisPro/Reports) is a major feature of the Database Designer. It allows you to generate error-free SQL statements because the SQL builder enforces the proper syntax. And you don't have to be an SQL expert. If you don't already know SQL, you will once you've used the Database Designer.

The Database Designer allows you to:

Visually create relational database schema.
Export Data Definition Language (DDL) files for creation of your databases.
Reverse engineer your existing databases into E/R diagrams.
Print even the largest of diagrams to poster-sized printouts.
Interact witih database tables the same as you would with any Workplace Shell object.
Modify tables and relationships with pop-up menus.
Direct editing allows you to easily change table names.
Workplace Shell drag and drop allows you to move, delete and print tables, create SQL statements that interact with tables, and program DB2/2 applications.
