Today's systems development organization is faced with the problems of rising cost, increasing system complexity, shorter development windows, new system environments, diversified user bases, rapid business change, and poorly defined requirements. Systems development professionals are turning to their own industry for tools and techniques to address these problems. Many companies in the computer industry have adopted CASE technology and modern methods to combat the systems development problems. CASE tools provide facilities for managing systems development, code generation, system prototyping, data analysis, database design and specification, reusability, and system specification.
Users are demanding the production of higher quality and more responsive systems with shorter lead times. The ability to capture the essence of the business, model the applications, prototype solutions for the users/clients, and produce efficient systems that implement the models and prototypes; has become a necessity for the systems development professional.
Accomplishing these goals at a reasonable cost has been difficult. We are proud to offer a Windows based CASE tool "Micro Creator" that supports these needs at a very affordable price $395.00 US. Check us out and you'll agree, Micro Creator is the best feature per dollar buy on the market.
Capture the essence of the business by modeling the database driven backbone applications that support the fundamental activities of the business.
Model Applications by creating an information model detailing the objects of interest to the system and the associations between them. Micro Creator has a powerful simple to use Entity Relationship modeling tool that supports the illustration of the applications entities and their relationships.
The Entity Relationship modeling tool has an analysis facility that identifies inconsistencies in the data model. It verifies that each entity has a primary key, that relationships are supported through foreign keys, that entity attributes are not repeated within an entity, and that the foreign key structure is consistent with the cardinality and optionality specifications for each relationship. The analysis facility can automatically add the foreign keys to your data model to consistently support the relationships modeled.
When you are satisfied with the consistency of the data model, you may, at the click of a button, create an instantaneous prototype. The prototype produces screens supporting data entry/retrieval for each of the entities. The user may enter, retrieve, and save data through the use of these screens. additional components of the prototype support the construction of reports and queries against the data base.
When you are ready to produce the code for the application, you simply
select the Micro Creator's template driven code generation facilities.
Since the generator is template driven, it can be tailored to your environment.
You may generate Borland or Microsoft:

Manual
Note: The users Manual is produced in RTF format and may be edited, extended, and published through many word processing facilities.
Compile the code using the generated makefile. Make copies of the dynamic link libraries, executable files, data model diagram, report files, initialization files, and their associated tables. Place these files in a directory of your choosing. Complete the process by Installing your application system as you would any other Windows based application. Your Windows application will be an implementation matching the prototype that even includes the data used in testing the application.
Micro Creator has an ODBC compliant database engine. Links to other databases can be made by utilizing ODBC drivers. These drivers can obtained from Microsoft or your database supplier. Some of the ODBC drivers that exist support links to:
dBase
Oracle AS/400
Access
SQL Server INFORMIX
Paradox
Ingres NetWare SQL
Sybase
DB/2 DB2/2
SQLBase
XDB SQL/DS
Teradata
Tandem NonStop SQL
HP
ALLBASE/SQL Excel
HP
IMAGE/SQL BTrieve

files
Through the above facilities one can connect to the foreign databases. Additional facilities permit the generation of a corresponding data model diagram. Re-engineering Databases The Entity Relationship Compiler creates an ASCII text file detailing the essence of the application from the data model or creates a data model from an ASCII text file containing information about the application's entities, entity attributes, and the relationships. The required format of the ASCII file is published in the system documentation along with some examples.
