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.
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.

| Andy Grove's Blog: Data Access Object versus Object Relational Mapping |

Following on from my posting Choosing a Java
Persistence Strategy I decided to blog further on the
topic of persistence choices that a developer must
make. In this posting I will give an overview of Data
Access Objects (DAO) and Object Relational Mapping
(ORM) and talk about some of the differences
between them.

"Before we discovered FireStorm/DAO, we were reluctant to write DAO code ourselves as it required a lot of time and effort. Now we can concentrate on the real business logic and application requirements."
