Xcase Highlights
Xcase offers exceptional value to database engineers who want the power and automation of high-end DB solutions - without the expense or high-overhead enterprise collaboration options.
Here’s just a sampling of how Xcase simplifies success for DB engineers.
|
Unique embedded diagrams
Control how much detail you see in each
ERD. You can embed related ERDs and
drill down by double clicking. |
Consistent, flexible editors
Learn Xcase quickly. Edit all objects via a
consistent, highly customizable dialog that
gives you quick access to all the info you
need.
|
|
|
Data integrity checks AND fixes
When you modify business rules, only
Xcase goes beyond checking for data
integrity. It shows you the actual data
that violates your new rule so you can fix
it manually or programmatically . . . with the
help of Xcase, of course.
|
View/edit data relationally
For fast, easy testing, Xcase gives you
hands-on access to physical data.
Edit it using drop-downs or look-ups
then navigate through related tables to
view results, all without ever opening the
application.

|
Advanced auto layout of ERDs
Xcase creates quality ERDs fast by analy-
zing the entities and relationships
you’ve defined and automatically orga-
nizing them into the most effective pre-
sentation. Select your choice of Hierarchi
cal or Orthogonal styles Xcase uses a
sophisticated incremental layout so that
your "mental map" is preserved when
you add or delete objects or modify display
options. See auto layout in action!
|
Easy two-way synchronization
Confidently evaluate “what if” scenarios
within your model. Xcase compares your
database to the model and allows you to
selectively apply modifications to the
database or to the model -
the ultimate
selective Undo feature.
|
|
|
Smarter scripting language
Hidden until needed, power users thrill at
the flexibility and ease of use of Xcase’s
uniquely impressive scripting language.
This allows you to customize the scripts
generated by Xcase to create or alter
database objects or to create virtually any
database related script.
|
Customizable Metadata
In addition to mapping all the relevant Meta-
data of your target database in your model,
Xcase allows you to easily add your own
Metadata. This user defined attributes are
seamlessly integrated into the editors and
can be accessed by the scripting language.
This feature grants unprecedented flexibility
to the power user. |
|
|
Move to another DBMS
Xcase allows you to migrate both the Metadata
and the Physical Data from one DBMS to
another.
|
Low-overhead collaboration
Collaborate without hassle using Xcase’s
version control. If two developers need to
use the same objects at the same time,
they can. Later, Xcase prompts you to
review changes across versions and
merges them for you. The Xcase archive
saves past versions for easy roll-back.

|
Automatic Model Maintenance
The information in a database model is
highly interrelated. A small modification
can have a profound modification on many
objects. Xcase automatically handles this
by propagating the modification where needed.
