jLynx is a simple, lite, hi-performance layer over the JDBC API. Persist and retrieve POJO and Map objects directly. Designed for developer productivity. Simpler, easy to learn, easy to configure as compared to Hibernate, JPA, etc.
jLynx generates JavaBean objects based on your database schema. For example if you have 24 tables and views in your database, jLynx will create 24 objects with properties that map to the field names in each table. The jLynx Generator creates the objects and compiles them. You can also use the generated source instead if you prefer to customize the objects. Using the API to persist objects is trivial.
jLynx Framework implements the Relational interface, which has all necessary methods to persist objects and fetch entire collections of objects.
jLynx leverages the strengths of SQL and the strengths of Java without having to write/maintain J2EE code. It is truly the best of both worlds.
DB-SVG is a java web application that generates SVG data model diagrams for any database with a JDBC driver. Database connections are configured via an XML file. The interactive interface allows tables to be dragged around and their positions saved. It is designed to make internal database coordination and documentation easy and accessible. See the demo to understand how it works.
