DB Visual Architect for Java Platform description
A database design tool - Class Diagram and ERD, entity modeling, ORM and more

DB Visual Architect for Java Platform is a Database design and data modeling tool for Java platform and provides ORM support that realizes UML design to relational database implementation

DB Visual ARCHITECT, a sophisticated Object to Relational mapping designer and code generator to you. DB-VA generate real executable persistence code, persistence layer and database (DDL or direct execute to the database).

You can focus on developing business logic and user interface without care about the database issue. The persistence layer of the DB-VA is build on top of the most popular persistence layer, Hibernate.

There is no vendor lock on when adopting DB-VA. All generated code can run on all popular relational database (e.g. MySQL, Oralce, SQL Server, DB2) and Application Server (e.g. JBoss, WebLogic Server ....). To know more about how DB-VA can help, please visit the Java ORM resource page at

Just draw a Class Diagram for the system, and you can generate the required database tables and persistent source code for database manipulation.

If you are already maintaining software that accesses relational database, you don’t need to start everything from scratch.

Just follow a step-by-step wizard and the tool will generate the necessary source code for manipulating the target database in an object-oriented approach.

Here are some key features of "DB Visual Architect for Java Platform":

· Incremental round-trip engineering
· Automatic synchronization between source code and diagrams
· Database generation - generate database tables from Entity Relationship Diagrams and Class Diagrams
· Multiple database support - work with various DBMS (MYSQL, Oracle, HSQLDB,MS SQL, Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL, Cloudscape...)
· ORM support - generate the persistent Java objects for manipulating database
· Reverse engineering database to ER Diagram/Class Diagram
· Reverse engineering - reverse XML, XML schema, database tables through JDBC, Java source/class, Hibernate format, .NET dll or exe files, C++ source, CORBA IDL source, Ada9x source into Class models
