Greetings!

CodeFutures has announced the General Availability of Release 2.4 of its award-winning FireStorm/DAO tool that makes software developers more productive by generating the Java code for accessing databases. The benefits provided by CodeFutures' code generation approach are higher developer productivity, better software quality, and lower maintenance costs.

The key new features in FireStorm/DAO are:

  • Support for Stored Procedures.
In addition to exposing tables, views, and custom SQL statements as Data Access Objects, FireStorm/DAO now exposes Stored Procedures as Data Access Objects, unlocking legacy business logic stored in databases. Initially available for Sybase, Oracle, and SQL Server.
  • Interactive SQL Tool
The new tool allows database queries to be tested directly from FireStorm/DAO.
  • Database Schema Migration
The feature that makes it easier to migrate database schemas between different databases. Any SQL data types from the old database not supported by the new target database are automatically changed to the appropriate supported data types.

Additional new features include improved Sybase ASE support, new wizards for importing databases and generating code, generating Web Applications using Java Server Pages, and multiple features to enhance handling of SQL data types.

A detailed feature list is available.
