Visual Paradigm DBVA for NetBeans is a Database design plug-in tightly integrated with NetBeans. The plug-in provides ORM support that realizes UML design to relational database implementation. Just draw a Class Diagram for the system, and you can generate the required database tables and persistent source code for database manipulation. If you are already maintaining software that accesses relational database, you don't need to start everything from scratch. Just follow a step-by-step wizard and the tool will generate the necessary source code for manipulating the target database in an object-oriented approach.
