DB-VA is 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 ER 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, HSQLDB, MS SQL, Sybase ...) with the same set of persistent source code. Another feature is the ability to generate database from Class Diagram or ERD. You can design your application with Class Diagram and ERD 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, Oracle, DB2, ypersonicSQL, MS SQL, Pointbase, Sybase, jTDS ...) to Class Diagram and ERD.
