Visually developing database applications

You can use Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams or Information Engineering (IE) and Integration Definition for Information Modeling (IDEF1X) notation diagrams to visually represent and develop database applications.

For example, you can use these diagrams to create graphical representation to understand schemas created by database administrators and how Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) entity beans are mapped to database tables.

You can use these diagrams to create data objects and develop your database applications.
