SchemaE is a CASE database design and management tool for Sybase databases that integrates with the NeXTSTEP object-oriented software development tools InterfaceBuilder and Database Kit (DB Kit). "By automatically generating a DB Kit model, SchemaE helps application developers quickly build custom database applications for NeXTSTEP" says Margaret Chan, Manager of Software Product Marketing at NeXT Computer. SchemaE communicates the design of a database as a picture that is easily understood by designers, administrators, writers, and users. SchemaE reverse engineers the database every work session, presenting a comprehensive, up-to- date picture of the database schema. Documentation added in SchemaE is stored with the database in special extensions that can be accessed by other tools. SchemaE speeds development and improves the design process by eliminating the need for SQL scripts or programming to update the database design. Changes such as creating tables, adding columns, or changing data types are simple graphical changes to the schema diagram. By dramatically reducing the time and effort invested in each design cycle, SchemaE allows more cycles and therefore encourages greater overall quality of design. "We are redefining CASE to eliminate the distinction between design and implementation by integrating SchemaE tightly with the database" said Lowell Schneider, president of Schema Research Corp. "SchemaE dynamically updates your database and preserves all documentation and design components in the same data dictionary with all implementation components." Schema Research Corporation provides Sybase expertise in tools, education, and consulting. Please call 415/ 368 8477 for more information.
