Overview

JADE provides the External Schema Wizard, which enables you to map your relational database to a JADE object model. The External Schema Wizard, installed with your JADE software, automates the process of transforming a relational database model into a JADE object model and enables you to add and configure an external database schema for your schema.

Before you can create, maintain, or access an external database schema, you must first install an ODBC driver. For details, see "ODBC Requirements for External Database Coexistence", in Chapter 2.

You can map one or more external relational databases into a JADE object model. Use the External Schema Wizard to access the catalog information from selected external data sources and generate proxy classes. For an overview of external database coexistence, see "External Database Coexistence", in Chapter 2.
