SCHEMA RESEARCH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SCHEMA-E VERSION 1.3 WITH
EOF(r) COMPATIBILITY
Beta Version of Software Available Immediately
-----
Redwood City, CA, December 5, 1994 -- Schema Research Corporation
announced today that SchemaE(tm) version 1.3 is scheduled for release
in January, 1995 and that beta copies of the software are available
immediately.
SchemaE is a NEXTSTEP(r) CASE database design and management tool
that integrates with the NEXTSTEP object-oriented software
development tools DatabaseKit(r) and Enterprise Objects Framework(r)
(EOF) for building client/server database mission-critical software
quickly and without extensive programming. SchemaE speeds
development and improves the design process by eliminating the need
for SQL scripts or programming to update database designs. By
reverse engineering the database every work session, SchemaE presents
a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of the database schema.
Changes such as creating tables, adding columns, or changing data
types can be implemented with simple graphical changes to the schema
diagram.
Version 1.3 adds support for NeXT Computer Inc.'s EOF and contains
about 90% of the functionality of NeXT's Enterprise Objects
Modeler(r) (EOM). This feature saves customers even more time during
development by combining the two tasks of database construction and
modelling into one graphical design environment.
New Features in 1.3:
- Index Creation -- Version 1.3 allows the developer to
build and incorporate indexes graphically through
SchemaE, giving an added degree of control over
design and development.
- Multiple Diagraming -- Customers can now create
customizable diagrams of any area of the database.
With multiple diagrams, only the specific area of the
database the customer wishes to examine needs to be
displayed.
- On-Line Help -- SchemaE now supports the NEXTSTEP
standard on-line help service. The entire users
manual has been integrated into this point and click
service allowing customers the immediate help they
need, and saving the time that would be required in
finding and searching through a hard copy manual.
In addition to the above features, version 1.3 also integrates the
following customer suggestions:
- DBObjects Browser -- This new browser lists all of
the views and tables at a glance, allowing quick and
easy access to any table or view within the schema.
- Color -- SchemaE now includes color functionality
which allows users to more easily organize, and
better differentiate between, sections of the
database schema.
- New Licensing Procedures -- Version 1.3 contains
support for floating licenses, and has a new
simplified set-up procedure.
SchemaE 1.3 is available for $3,300, and SchemaE-50(tm) which
provides all of the same features and capabilities as SchemaE, but
limits database size to 50 tables, is available for $950. Schema
Research provides nine months of free support and maintenance with
each purchase, including software patches and upgrades.
Upgrades to version 1.3 of SchemaE are provided free of charge to
customers covered under maintenance contracts (software purchased
after May 15, 1994, or maintenance contracts purchased after January
15, 1994). Upgrades can be purchased for 15% of the retail price of
the product at the time of upgrade. Please contact Schema Research
for more information.
