From PDA Street:

ETS, Inc. announced the upcoming release of da Vinci, Data Architect for the Palm OS platform, a database designer and code generation tool designed for use with Metrowerks CodeWarrior Development Tools for Palm OS, Version 8.

ETS said da Vinci allows a development team to reduce the complexity and accelerate the completion of data-driven applications by providing a interface for the design of Palm OS databases and generating code that a developer would otherwise need to write manually in a time consuming process.

According to the company, developers can use, modify and extend the code that da Vinci generates with CodeWarrior Development Tools for Palm OS, Version 8, a development tool for Palm OS devices. “da Vinci will allow CodeWarrior developers to produce powerful applications for the enterprise and do so in less time,” said Gerardo A. Dada, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Metrowerks. “Metrowerks is pleased to see ETS bring innovative solutions that empower the Palm OS development community.”

Once the required databases are designed, da Vinci generates the required C code for creating and managing the databases under Palm OS. The company said this greatly reduces the time required to become proficient in database development, and the amount of time required to create database structures and the data management framework for a new project.

da Vinci is slated to be available this month via the ETS website and other channels. An electronic download license for the product is $149 and a CD-ROM version with printed Users Guide costs $199 plus shipping and handling

Da Vinci also generates the C code for managing databases under Palm OS. The following routines are generated by da Vinci:

Saving data

Deleting data

Sorting

Create new data

Duplicate data

Searching

Get preferences

Save preferences

Global Find support

Sub-String searching

With the amount of time saved from writing code, da Vinci easily pays for itself from the very first Palm OS project. "da Vinci will allow CodeWarrior developers to produce powerful applications for the enterprise and do so in less time," said Gerardo A. Dada, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Metrowerks. "Metrowerks is pleased to see ETS bring innovative solutions that empower the Palm OS development community."
